YOUR TASK
To build any pre 1939 propellor aircraft with these parts, you may use multiples of these parts, but no other parts from the menu, your main material will be wings,
This is how we built planes in the old days, in the comments I will link a few aircraft for you so you can take them apart and descover how these wing planes were discovered.
You have untill December 1 to build an areoplane.
The plane will be judged on looks, details and creativity, not on performance. But it will be disqualified if it cannot fly!
PARTS
Yellow- structural sing
Orange- structural pannel
Red- un breakable wing
RULES
500 part limit
NO XML MODDING
Only use these parts
No old prop engines
No prop engines
NO FUSELAGE BLOCKS AT ALL
NO SCALING
NO SUCCESSORS TO OLD PLANES!
Good luck, you will all need it, as wing building is a hard art to master.

It's quite funny how two of the planes are German
i guess i will try. I am awful at building like this but it should be fun... now to look up an old plane to build. Here we go
Of course, you may mod your engines however you like as that was possible in the old days but you may not scale anything, other things you can mod are- amount of fuel in a fuel tank and modding the old nose cones if you need them, but this challenge is mainly about wing building. @Dovahkiin420
Can I mod my engines to be less powerful?
@PlanesOfOld Oh okay. One last question, are all of the blocks provided exceptions, minus the fuselages? Like the scaled wing?
You don't need VTOL engines to make props spin, just use flat bottom wings on a free spin rotator and they will spin at speed, VTOL engines just muck up the stability. Old blocks are fine any blocks in the structural section added in the fuselage update are not allowed especially the fuselages. @amazingperson124
I have two questions: Does the no fuselage rule include the blocks, and can we use vtol engines to spin props?
I miss the good old days
@PlanesOfOld thanks, I'll do my best!
I had a flashback whilst building something that triggered this challenge, lots of peeps used to think that they had made the mona Liza of simpleplanes with 5 fuselage blocks and then got directed by me to a wing build only to say 'anyone can do that' sigh, I miss those days, it's as I told scrifiers or whatever his name is 'after the fuselage block wing builders won't feel special anymore...' @Cedy117
haha, you can make some awesome things with wings, just keep practicing and learning then you will make something great @PyroManiac @ColonelStriker
It's like the modular origami of simple planes!
Man, this is harder than I thought!
Ahh the old days seems like yesterday lol
