@jamesPLANESii magic ;)
55 parts... 66 upvotes... 144 comments... What does this mean...
I have an entry https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/oLsd78/50-part-challenge
@TehNewDucky submit it to the next one. It'll be very soon. Stay tuned.
Would you be mad if I wanted to have a different entry? I discovered one of my really good planes is 48 parts and works beautifully. If not, I understand.
Great challenge, I hope I will in in the next one
@Mymessage I'll go through the comments when I start judging, but I can't guarantee I won't miss it.
Oh great I just red the rules :( my skateboard has to be a successor from yours. Well I guess I can't enter. Is it ok if you can let it slide? If you don't I will be perfectly ok with that because I know that is not abiding by the rules. But it is up to you.
That's my entry!

Give a look if not too busy
@Testin123 no. I have to extend the deadline, as I'm too busy to judge these days
@EternalDarkness Am I too late??
I've built somthing for this ;)
@Supercraft888 great
I may build something
@zealt judging is on May the 5th. Take your time and do it right.
@EternalDarkness I'm still working on mine it might be some time
@Maverick2110 download this, remove everything but the cockpit, and build onto the cockpit. Then your build will be a "successor" to mine, and I'll have it one a list of successors.
Done.@EternalDarkness
@EternalDarkness how is this going to happen? are you going to search for 55 part challnge in the search bar or something?
@EternalDarkness i did have an idea but the suspension had over 55 parts any way
