Yo Who is the winnah
Who is the winner?
Puts Parachutes on base P-51 WINNER
Thanks heaps
Done now it's 9,999 lbs
Hmm good enough my plane weighs 10,328 lbs so that limit will be perfect, now just need to throw the pilots out and it'll be fine
@plane918273645 ok I will make it 10,000
I'm having a lot of trouble keeping it under 5000 lbs can you make it 15,000 Atleast or else I cannot have it detail at all @Lahoski107
@jaredgamer download this, Delete the sign and start from there
How do I submit my design I have never done this before kinda maybe a dumb question
@Mod k I chanced the rules @chancey21
@Lahoski107 How about no.
@chancey21 @Mod all you have to do is make a plane such as @Jundroo ‘s p-51, with a bit more detail
Engines power, exact chord scale ETC @Lahoski107
@Lahoski107 XML allows the adjusting of mass, the sizing of parts, and so much more.
@chancey21 @Mod what’s the need? You are allowed to nudge and rotate
No XML, No entry
I’m not entering because of XML
@InternationalAircraftCompany it just makes your plane heavier
@InternationalAircraftCompany there’s no reason for it to be armed
Why can’t it be armed?
@LimePixel21 you can, they probably wont do much
*standard takeoff and landing
Can we use chutes to slow down?@Lahoski107
You should check out my SBD-3 Dauntless. Not only can it land on USS Tiny, but it fits the time period as well. Obviously I'm not submitting it for the challenge, but I figured you'd like it.
