this is the Boeing B-36 Dominator for the bomber challenge!
history
The Boeing B-36 dominator is a high altitude bomber able to carry a very high bomb load and a long range. Top speed at sea level is a health 300mph as it is being powered by 4 750hp McCalister mc-R-11230 engines. At 20,000 ft the performance is about 100mph less at around 200mph. Maneuverability is very good for such a large aircraft, and armament makes this a flying fortress.

Builders note: this is an amazing bomber, it's so fun to fly, and I just enjoy playing around with it. At higher altitudes you need to put your own pitch in, trim and flaps aren't enough to keep her level starting from 16k up. As with most of my aircraft stall landings are the best for it, so around 120-130mph you'll find the stall point. Also high altitude bombing is hard, you'll see how good I am at bombing, was at around 17k ft, second picture.

Special thanks to @LieutenantSOT for testing!!
@LieutenantSOT lol, thank you so much for plat my friend, you have no idea what this means to me, b36 is going to be made for you as well as your xf15c
Motherfu-
Did you call this a B-36?
.
Disgracefully bastard.
unfriended
.
Lol. Kidding ofc
@PapaKernels That RC challenge sounds really good! I'll probably do that
@MrGreen hmmmm, maybe an RC aircraft challenge, like how I did on my fpv flight experience, but able to have a homan on the ground. How you can have it track the aircraft is have the cockpit on the plane and a camera on the dudes head and have the camera on track cockpit, that could be something you could do. Or you could try to do a history of flight challenge that would hopefully go better than mine, (0 entrys and like 10 updoots)
@PapaKernels Do you have any ideas for a next challenge (for when i get silver)?
@MrGreen yep! It was alot of fun to come up with something like this, it was a pleasant deviation from my normal building.
@PapaKernels Just noticed it, thanks for participating
@MrGreen and realism score is out of 70 not 50
@PapaKernels Yea ur right i'll make the score a bit higher
@MrGreen thanks! I pinned it so you can find it for final, its something I always like doing. Thanks for the review, and why such a low score on handling? It's very realistic, if your looking for it to be faster it couldn't been any better for the sake of realism
@MrGreen ok, all good, thanks for telling me I have no chance for first lol
@PapaKernels ok theres a battle btwn levihugs and acepilot118 about the 1st place so your points may get delayed
@MrGreen ok, yea sorry I forgot to tag ya, i forgot if It gets put as a successor it wouldn't notify ya, that's on me.
Oh wait i see this now i'll rate it within an hour
@PapaKernels No problem ( ;
@Musraskrois thank you
@PapaKernels Looks pretty nice. I like the bomb bay. Over all well done
@asteroidbook345 lol, I knew one was called the dominator, just didn't know which, its fine
The B-36 was a real thing and the B-32 was called the dominator lmao
@EternalDarkness thank you!
@PapaKernels done.
@PapaKernels yup lol
@LieutenantSOT already here lol
