In this challenge, you are tasked with making a racing plane from the 1930’s.

You must make an aircraft using one of these engines.

Rules:
1. The aircraft must use one of the provided engines
2. The engines can not be modified in any way, other than color and prop dimensions.
3. The aircraft cannot have weapons
4. The aircraft must include a visible intake
5. No XML modding

Scoring will be based on
1. Detail/realism (5pts): how realistic the aircraft looks and flys

3. Tournament scores(10, 20, and 30pts): there will be a tournament. 1st 2nd and 3rd will receive points based on their places.
