Fankz @TMach5

Congrats! @jamesPLANESii

Oh no it’s fine, I really don’t care. I just needed a bit of motivation to build larger planes and this was perfect@EternalDarkness

@EternalDarkness ooh and i was in third place!!!

XD @F104Deathtrap

I think I’d like my Scout Defender and my DH Beaver spotlighted plz. @EternalDarkness

@jamesPLANESii yup. Pick two builds to get spotlight beside your entry.

Woo yay I won!

@VerySaltySniper it's still not bad. I've seen far worse builds outside this category. There were even a dozen I disqualified. You still have stuff to learn, like proportion and fuselage wings. That and difficult takeoff got you here.

@LEOPARDtec I have given the same amount of thought to your build as I did to all others. It doesn't fly that bad once it's off the ground, but takeoff is difficult. That's why it got low points for performance. Since I took exactness as a "design" for replica entries, low score there comes from the fact that it's not exact, but is recognizable. "Quality" part is explained in a comment below.

@FarrowAirlines I mean, you had time to go over the rules, I'm actually surprised you're complaining now, you could've told them this while the competition was still in play. Effort does not always equal outcome, especially in this game.

Oh well, you may THINK I have came last on the competition, but.... your right. Dammit

@FarrowAirlines though you can find parts that have been modified by searching and you can also find many willing PC users to help modify parts.

Congrats to jamesPLANESii btw

@EternalDarkness I don't think mine deserves its score, it flys like a drunk elephant.

@EternalDarkness Thanks. Appreciate it

@Benkelmans probably. As soon as I decide to fly a certain kind of plane, and can't find enough of those on the site.

@Benkelmans that's how much I like the plane. It is usually proportioned to the rest of the score (if the plane looks and flies well, if course I'll like it), so there's not much point in having it.

@Benkelmans He's firm but fair. I wish I could get more of the top builders to give feedback.

@F104Deathtrap thanks.

@FarrowAirlines what I have considered and rated under "quality" is:

• custom control surfaces/airfoil (yes/no);
• Mechanisms;
• Smoothness;
• Details (interior, antennas...)
• Some other stuff specific to each design.

What I have rated in "design" for fictional aircraft is:

• Could it be used in real life?
• Does it look real?
• Does it have everything it should have?
• Is there anything it shouldn't have?

I understand that you have worked hard on your build, but I have to judge based on the build I get in the end, not on work invested.

@EternalDarkness I knew that going into this, I just wanted to support your awesome challenge!

@FarrowAirlines biplanes were usually characterised by unusually thin airfoils, due to the lack of need to support themselves. Those wings usually featured significant chamber in order to provide maximum lift. Thick wings came with monoplanes, after engineers figured out struts increase drag. I do understand that you have invested a lot of work into your build, but so did others. I had to judge fairly, and it wasn't easy.

@F104Deathtrap I can't give you all the upvotes. I have already upvoted all your builds XD

@FarrowAirlines I know. But compare your build to winners. You got thick wings, no custom surfaces, training wheels layout is unrealistic...
