Make an aircraft with 8 or fewer parts. It has to be able to take off from Yeager airport and land at Wright airport. This means it has to be controllable and have plenty of fuel. Deadline is June 16, so get building, and QUICK! XML modding and fine tuning is allowed. Bonus points you can make a plane with 7 parts, and special recognition if you can make an aircraft with 6 parts. However, you may not ask for help or take inspiration from other people or their aircraft. Must be a successor of this build, and that shouldn;t be hard at all, so please don't complain. Literally all you have to do is download this build and remove my airplane from the cockpit, then replace it with your own. Happy building everyone!
(P.S. if you make it to 4 parts, I will be wondering how you stole my secret information... it is extremely hard to do but not impossible). Builds will be judged by maneuverability and part count. Focus on the part count more, because it accounts for 2X the amount of points as maneuverability.
