ENDS JULY 1 2016! Your plane must be able ot fold up and fly well unfolded. It dosen't have to be able to start on the ground or take off but it is better if it does. Bouncy rides are bad. It will be judged from pitch, roll, speed, how much the size difference is between folded and unfolded, and appearance. You may upload a second one if the first one does not meet the requirements or you are just not happy with it. Good luck and may the best plane win. P.S. To enter make one based of of this

@Treadmill103 btw remember to always try new things!
Winner is sam3232
@bspboy k cool
It is made for better acceleration, so it is already spinning to start faster. @TheRedStormer
@bspboy very good! How do you turn off the propellor? Flys well and compacts a lot!
How is mine?
@Geekpride oh sorry don't mind k
CLOSED! On July 7
@TheRedStormer Oh, cool. Is the new end date July 7th? I'll make something that actually works, if you don't mind.
@Geekpride cool! Does look cool just won't be counted. I am definitely delaying the end date so if you want to improve it you still have time
I've submitted my Scorpion as a successor, but it's an interesting failure, not a proper entry. It can't fly, but it's got quite a cool folding mechanism I wanted to show.
I may have to delay the end to July 7 sense there aren't many entries
Done!
