@EvilGenius awesome
I'm in!
@JetstreamAeroEngineering Got mine's up amd running!
@Geekpride @Manboy2 sound good!
I'm in, my biplane glider is up as a successor. I can finish the Eagle Pass race with it easily, the AI can manage it but crashes straight after the line.
Im in boi!
Ok thanks @JetstreamAeroEngineering
@bskngshrk no, just don't go crazy big
Is there a size or part limit?
I'm in @JetstreamAeroEngineering ! With my glider for the going the distance challenge! You only need to remove the engine and the pylon (the first version didn't have the prop)
@Dan3668 awesome!
I'm in
@JetstreamAeroEngineering check the TwinFisher SP-17 Shark Tooth Racer
@AaronSonAirCrafts it's an interesting design
@JetstreamAeroEngineering did you like the design
@Tully2001 @AaronSonAirCrafts ok I'll check them out!
@JetstreamAeroEngineering if you take a nice look at it, i bet you, you will like the design, the body is from its older brothers the TwinFisher
Cool! @AaronSonAirCrafts
@JetstreamAeroEngineering my Glider Can Finish the Eagle Pass 5:55, it Can do Barrel Rolls but a Little bit Slow but Really Good at Loops, aslong as it gets up to speed
@Tully2001 sweet!
@Tully2001 @AaronSonAirCrafts sweet!
i'm in
K @JetstreamAeroEngineering
@Hadesrocks I will have to add this, but more than likely by looks, how maneuverable android long it can glid from 5000 ft
Like, if lets say, 3 gliders beat the requirements, how do you judge the winner? @JetstreamAeroEngineering
