Judging starts in 7 days be sure to enter your submissions before then!
Inspired by my most recent upload (it is very slow) I have decided to host a SLOW challenge!
The objective is simple, build the SLOWEST plane! [I will be surprised if someone can make a plane that takes off and cruises at 1mph!]
Prizes go to the winner and second place of each class, the classes being:
Prop class,
Jet class
Replica class (bonus points if speed is accurate)
and Twin class!
RULES:
Prop class must be powered by only ONE prop engine
Jet class must be powered by only ONE jet engine
Twin class must be powered by TWO PROP engines
XML modding is allowed [Lift and weight CANNOT BE MODDED]
NO AIRBRAKES
NO PARACHUTES
ENTRIES MUST BE A SUCCESSOR
MULTIPLE ENTRIES ARE ALLOWED BUT MUST BE FROM DIFFERENT CLASSES [eg: don't post 2 prop class and 3 jet class, only one of each is allowed so a max of 4 planes can be entered]
Replica class planes have an engine limit of 6
Prizes:
Each entry will get an upvote!
1st place will win 10 upvotes [if you have 10 uploads] and 3 spotlights of your !
2nd place will win 5 upvotes [if you have 5 uploads] and one spotlight of your choice!
God speed... er that doesn't quite work,
God... slow?!
Good luck
HAVE fun
and ENJOY!

Sure. @squideater56

Alright thanks.
yes. @Simpleplaneboy
You may use a parachute, but I will not activate it during testing. @TheXDimension32
take the cockpit off, save the plane as a sub assembly and add the cockpit from this to it, upload it and that should work. @MasterLobster
I we want to change the design do we delete our old post and upload a new one?
Aaaaand I meant that this stol was NOT purposely build for the competition, it was build before the competition was introduced.
