Hey, so today i made the first page of users in the game, which i'm enourmously grateful of, so i'm gonna initiate a little challenge. Since my favorite planes are heavy bombers, its going to be a heavy bomber challenge. The rules are simple-

1. It must weigh at least 20,000 pounds and carry at least 800 gallons of fuel.

2. It must carry a payload of at least 6 'bombs' (nose cones)

Bonus points go to those who's designs are scale bombers, like my He-177, use 3d paneled wings, or a payload exceeding 6 bombs.

ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE A 5 STAR RATING ON THEIR DESIGNS, AS A TOKEN OF PARTICIPATING; HOWEVER…

1st place will receive 3 five star ratings on 3 of their randomly selected planes

2nd place will receive 2 five star ratings on 2 of their randomly selected planes

3rd place will receive 1 five star rating on 1 of a randomly selected plane

Have fun building!

ENDS ON 3/14 (Saturday)

    Here is my challenge. Not sure if it flys though. I ran it on my iPad and for those who are on mobile you can't download it. Kinda shows how much lag there was for me. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/HUu5Pn/Plane-for-Heavy-Bomber-Challenge
