Auto Credit Based on FlyingThings's (CLOSED)No control Surface Challenge
When Serge hit the ground, the mechanics said he would never have flown again. His hydraulics were compromised, and his control surfaces were jammed forever. However, a visionary engineer transplanted RCS thrusters on his wingtips, bow and stern to guarantee some mobility. Serge can now fly again, but still, he'd rather stay on the ground.

I can't believe this has been downloaded more times than Gregor McGregor!
I really thought that fully-movable structural wings were forbidden, since they are "surfaces" and are used for "control". However, I see from other entries that I was wrong. I may exploit this for my second and last entry.
Eyyy. Thats pretty good.
