I've fallen in love with simplePlanes over the last couple of months and I've noticed the distinct lack of biplanes! So I've decided to formulate a CHALLENGE for this occasion!

Rules
- No Mods
- Must have two fixed wings (duh)
- Planes need to fly decently
- There is an example biplane. don't copy it!

- Stability. How well your plane flies level
- Manoeuvrability. How well your plane turns
- Top speed. Your top speed in flight
- Fuel Efficiency. How long until you have 99% fuel
- Design. How good your craft looks
All flights will be taken off from Wright Airport

    Wow! Thanks so much! It took me a long time to figure it out, so you know, the missiles would not blow the plane up @TheWilliamjbq
