WW1 Challenge - PE-1a Pickett

2,636 Phaz3Shift  7.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on DbE's WW1 challenge (finished)

My entry for the WWI Challenge. I made this plane a while ago, but I feel like it fits perfectly with the challenge. NOTE: This DOES have two hinge rotors, one normal rotor, and a piston, but they are strictly to actuate the controls in the cockpit. If that is a disqualifier for the contest, I understand. This aircraft is 100% stock- no mods, no XML modding.

    @Stellarlabs, I would like to enter this for the WWI challenge. I'm not sure what a "robotic" rotor or hinge is, so if this has any and is ineligible for entry, I understand. It does have two hinge rotors, one regular rotor, and one piston, but they are strictly to actuate the controls and they have no real effect on the flight.

    It's the same as my original design here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/58YGbV/PE-1a-Pickett

    I know I didn't make a new aircraft just for the challenge, but I figured that this fit so well with the challenge that I just had to let her have a chance!

    Whew, just 24 parts under the limit!
