Auto Credit Based on hypnotoad's Control eclipse

I want to challenge you guys to make a plane made with mostly structural wings. It can be a plane like the Control Eclipse from @Hypnotoad (Shown on picture) or the body can be made out of structural wings. 1st place gets 5 5 star ratings, 2nd gets 3 5 star ratings and 3rd gets 1 5 star rating. Have fun and good luck!Forgot a rule. The plane must be a successor to this challenge.Another Update: The deadline to the contest is August 2nd.

    @PlanesOfOld: I can't find the Aqua Dromonen XIV. If it is the XIV Aqua Drome, that doesn't count.

    @Matthew240 you do it in the xmls be warned it is unstable. It occasionally disappeared. You go the the file called subassembly.xml find the part that you want to be put in the new folder. It says Category="sub-assembly " change that to a different name (MODS). I may not get that exact I am not on my computer

    @Matthew240 I go into the Xmas to change the order of parts. I put medium engines and fuel tanks on the top of propulsion. I made a new folder called MODS that has modded wings fuel engine ect

    @Matthew240 it is decently. This is my longest plane. All my other planes took between 2:30 to 5:00 hours.

    Yeah so do I they make buliding so fast, I even have a standard block in sub assemblies so I don't have to go to a different catagory @UnknownVectors

    @Matthew240 main reason I build so fast. SUB ASSEMBLIES I gave hundreds. I have at least 40 different wings (different angles size controls) Modded engines modded fuel large lines of blocks

    There is no way it would float and still fly right @UnknownVectors

    @Matthew240 mine can hit at around 250 more or less. Takeoff can be hard. If you pitch to early it sinks

    @Matthew240 I was done with the frame in about 2-3 hr. The rest of the time was on control. Speed. And the takeoff/landing. The fuel is low because if I add more it sinks
