What is the minimum part number for a propeller plane?

I think 5. I was unable to made a prop plane with 4 parts.

5 parts

    @Baldovino yeah, I think we both had the same idea. I did try making one with just one wing, and decelerons to get yaw control, but sadly the decelerons didn't work. But yeah, you can connect parts in the xml even if they're nowhere near each other, it lets you make things that float near each other like that. I used the same method for my Triebflugel and Copperbell

    @Skua It's pretty similar to mine, but with no the tiny fuselage to keep all assembled. Only inverted

    @Baldovino it's a little tricky to get it going, it's unstable in yaw until around 300mph, but it does work

    @Skua Yep, mate. But... it's not a propeller plane! :D

    @Manboy2 I can't consider "flew" a plane that can start a flat spin in every second. ;) Maybe it flew five minuts "more or less" stable, but maybe it fall in flatspin in 3 seconds. But more of this, it's six pieces. In every case, good work looking for the game limits, keep up the good work.

    @Manboy2 If you mean this, first it acutally does not fly, second it is composed of six pieces. ;)

    @Baldovino look at my Smallest plame ever. Then you will see

    actually 5, unless you get the dehidral right. you would need a vertical stabilizer

    @Baldovino Oh minimum. In theory it is 4 parts, 2 wings, 1 cockpit, 1 prop. Wings have dihedral and are attached on the bottom of cockpit, prop is on the back of the cockpit.

    @amazingperson124 How many parts do you use? What is the little number? one is the prop, one the canopy... two was sure. And you need at least a wing... what is te minimum number of parts?

    @Nickasaurus I was unable to made flyable planes done with less than 5 parts, if you can link a 3 part plane, surely I can learn something.

    What do you mean? I made many large prop planes before.
