Now that my contest is over, here's my own SSTOL aircraft. This was what inspired me to run the contest in the first place. I built this well before, but I didn't want to upload it until the contest was over.

This little plane takes off in 5 lines at full throttle, will climb like a bat out of hell, and only requires about 30% thrust to fly once you're at your desired altitude, with a stall speed of around 55mph.

Try taking off from either runway, and landing this little baby EVERYWHERE! She's very robust and can easily handle landings in terrain normally inaccessible to fixed wing aircraft.

HAPPY FLYING!

    @ hypnoticchicken that sounds like a hardware issue, not a design flaw on my part. I've had her in the water plenty of times without problem. Seems like a poor reason to rate two stars.
