This tournament will take place on a course that no one has ever seen, except for me....since I just made it. That makes things a bit tricky, doesn't it? How can you possibly design a plane for a course that you can't test? Well, I suppose I can give you a few hints.
Hint #1: Top speed is important. Hint #2: Your plane needs enough fuel to travel 65km. That is all. Good luck!
EDIT: Hint #3: You do need landing gear since the course starts on a runway.
Prize

@LVerb10 what
@BaconRoll
I lost this race due to drunken AI
but any user on this site can be banned
@DarthAbhinav Will someone ban them?
They need some punishment
@AndrewGarrison
stop...how do you will make airplane for this game if you don't have the game bought?
you assuming that we play on pirated copy?
Again, please =D @AndrewGarrison
@AndrewGarrison how often do you think the tournament deadlines will be, I'm going to guess once every 2 weeks
@AudioDud3 I'm sorry to hear that. You make awesome stuff, so I'm surprised you haven't been featured yet. The good news is that when you hit platinum, you will get to choose a plane of yours for us to feature. Just tag me on the plane you want featured when that happens.
@Iamsilverdahedgie YES ',:( maybe
@AudioDud3 We need a track editor for sure
@Lahoski107 Next tournament in two weeks?
@Iamsilverdahedgie the match will take place in two weeks maybe
@Lahoski107 @Lahoski107 what do you mean
@Iamsilverdahedgie the deadline is probably in two weeks
@AndrewGarrison when is the next tournament?
@Geekpride rlly? tks for that. I just played SP for 1 month now. N00b.
@aceofspades2707 There are prop class tournaments. This wasn't one of them.
My plane had a pretty innovative design, two t3000 props at the front and back, reaching mach 1.1. Versus other props? No problem. But mine was a JET plane, so I could say the match was unfair. To Jundroo: please have a prop category and a jet category, to be even. I am happy about how it turned out, well, it's a transonic prop.

My gosh my plane sucked
Just finished watching the matches now the tournament's been uploaded. All in all, I'm pretty happy with how it went, my entry was respectably fast and giving it good stability helped the AI control it. The main thing for me to learn is that if we have another mystery tournament (and I hope we do), I should believe the hints given and commit to the recommended strategy.
I'm another one that would like to see this race added to the game, it's a different challenge to the other races.
Quarter finals... Not bad
