Welcome to The no-prop biplane Challenge!
In this challenge, you must download this little plane fly it around a little, and then use the cockpit to build any era, any kind of bi-plane.
(A biplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with two main wings stacked on top of each other, with one wing usually slightly forward of the other. The wings are connected by wires and "struts".)
Okay, now on to the plane judging criteria.
It must fly well,
must be pretty,
you cannot use props,
you can use XML,
you cannot use mods.
Make it as pretty as you want.
Keeping in mind that pretty is a category in judging.
Parts count must be between 69 and 1000
Now I really like reading a good story, so that is also a judging criteria.
Tell me a story about your plane, your company that made the plane, the kitty-cat that sits on the co-pilot's seat.
Be creative.
Word length: between 6-1042.
Any language.
Pictures, gifs, links allowed to supplement the story.
Pictures help, use. ! [ ] ( https://pictureplace.com/example12345.jpg ) NO SPACES
So the ratio of judgement is as follows:
30% Prettiness
31% Flight worthiness/ Functionality.
33% Story.
6% Popularity vote.
Enter up to three times. But only 1 place per person.

@oldmate52 yep
Can I make more than one plane
@Kerbango noted; I'm just here to join for fun, idc if I'm not in top, it's available for my entry so i can tackle a few stuff at once, thanks!
@Monarchii You do you, but keep in mind that pretty is a category in judging.
You judge. which is prettier? ONE or TWO. They fly the same.
I can make things fly with 4-5 parts, I believe you can, too.
This challenge is about pushing yourself as a creative.
I feel like the.. was it Belphegor? yeah that, might work for this... hmh...... problem is I'm pretty sure i would probably make it below 69 parts unironically because I'm like that-
(refer to my PEA series, low part, crude, and Part-Efficient Aircrafts for the general use with no lags, cough Self-Promotion cough)
seriously though, is the minimum part unnegotiable like, 60 parts? that's the most amount I'm kinda willing to push up when my typical aircrafts are 50 parts below..
I have a few ideas in mind, might join :P
Hmmm
I am in. I will.make a plane for this soon.
