WINNERS of the 96-Part Challenge

Top 25 selection out of 144 entries

Thank you all for participating in the 96 Parts Challenge. Your builds were genuinely amazing, and some even surprised me with new ideas. Here are my comments on why I liked them and why they became the winners. Judging was difficult, and I did my best not to offend or upset anyone. I hope everyone enjoyed the challenge. I have followed a few of you and will upvote and spotlight your work in the next few days.

1st Place

VF-1A by @PlanariaLab

I was initially skeptical about the overall appearance of the creation. However, after trying it out, I must say that it is truly remarkable. It resembles a swing-wing F14, but it can transform into a robot in two different positions. It can fly like a plane, fly as a robot, walk as a robot, and even VTOL in one robot position. The engineering behind it is truly impressive. Moreover, it flies and lands perfectly. A better livery would make it even more special.

I have decided to award 1st place to this build. Congratulations!

2nd Place

OS2U Kingfisher @pancelvonat

Best handeling and landing experience. Simply beautiful.

2nd Place

CM-15 Colomban Cri-Cri by @MrCOPTY

This plane is one-of-a-kind, and I highly recommend testing out the cool feature that MrCOPTY created in the cockpit. The navigator arrow directs you to another airport and provides distance calculations. Great job! Adding more detailed livery and unique features would take this plane to the next level.

3rd Place

Bartgeier @CrazyCatZe

One of the best nostalgic planes to fly. You must try the machine guns. They are truly amazing with details.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

NJR-AV-1-13 - @Grob0s0VBRa

Alien UFO craft with unusual maneuvers, Funky Tree, and Engines were amazing.

IL-62 @FatPilotOne

This Aeroflot plane is so much undervoted, although it was so nice to fly

Westland W.90 by @Mastereldo

It is a noble endeavor to build a helicopter powered by wingtip jets. If you're comfortable flying helicopters, it's still controllable and enjoyable. I recommend giving it a try.

Yak 141 by @Zxndr  

One of the best VTOL, I like the way you linked the VTOL and landing gear.

A4 XL by @RamboJutter

fast, it is like a feather to fly. Strange.

Airbus A300 @DARZAVIATIONOFICIAL

wonderful fuselage build, nice to fly

GA Plane @rexzion

Although the plane may look simple, it is actually well-built and has exceptional handling.

747 @LunarEclipseSP

This beautiful Air Force aircraft could seize the top spot with its smooth fuselage, improved wings, and landing gear. Overall, it is one of the most stunning planes from afar.

Z’s 96 @Zaineman

In order to fully experience my buddy's gift, you need to have a VR headset.

B2 @XPAAircrafts

F104C @ForPolarRegions and SU57 @Matuoka443

Both belong to the same category as they are well-built fighters, one old and one new. F104 is as dangerous as a real fighter plane, which was once called a "flying coffin" or a "widow-maker."

Fw 190 @Erc90F4RU

It's a simple build, but it does the job very well.

Ta194 @kpfpz70m933

Attractive design; this should continue to develop into a more complex build.

X24 @gunkanmarch

Convair CV580 @ZacOnTrack

Beautiful one; smoothing out the fuselage will bring more points to its plane.

Boeing Bird of Prey @Wibbley

Beautiful build. Nice landing. It loses some points in handling in the air. It was kind of floating rather than flying. But I like the design it so much.

de Havilland DH.95 @CR929thenewSPplayer

Realistic flying experience for a pre-war time plane. Nice historic piece

S-31 Kurowashi @PUMPKINSIDD

Cessna by @Poxuhu

Simple, but this a fun plane to fly

AI C5-A @MobileBuilder21

It has a beautiful build, but the wings have a serious issue at full speed. which reduces winning points

ION Platypus @JustAMiko

It is a nice looking one, but It's a bit heavy plane, which loses lots of points from handling.

LearJet 23 @GlassyBiomNewSPUser

It's so cute, and I am keeping this to play around. Unfortunately, it doesn't fly well. Smoothing out the fuselage and balancing the CoM will bring up many points on this cute plane. I want to build one.

AI Rotorcraft ASAP - MUH-1 @WHNineTripleOne

The only helicopter in this challenge, unfortunately it, is totally uncontrollable.

If you are not on the above-mentioned list:

There were 144 entries in this competition, and it was a close call to pick the winners. All of the entries were amazing, and it was difficult to decide on the points to award. However, if your build did not make it to the top 25 list, it does not mean that your build was not good. I am sorry about that. I had to leave out many of my followers and close friends from the list, and I apologize for that. We can do another competition in the future, but not anytime soon. I need some time to build something on my own.
