    Correct, re boats popularity in a user community that likes bright colors, fast targets, and explosions. (I get that you can also do that witt boats, but my surface ships that blew up the USS Tiny received zero votes. Lesson learned.) @Planefun

    @Planefun BTW, only in the last 3 months have I had: Android and iPad Pro platforms that allow me to enter any and all future competitions.

    @Planefun About three dozen. I have accidentally posted public builds that got votes, then went back and deleted the posts. Reason: the builds give simple flight thrust+control tricks away. Reused builds by others that give no credit back to the original builder. For every race course and dogfight competition on SP I've made private builds that are sometimes better, sometimes a lot better that the original completion winners.

    @Planefun Yes, I just published one of my least aesthetic builds. You want to see better racers; I got them but SP users are giving all points now based on paint jobs, it seems, not aero performance. My best stuff remains unlisted.

    @Planefun Try air-air racing against a fast opponent on Oceanview. This is one of my slowest race plane designs. It truly does use old blocks and basic COL COM for flight. The prop is a very very rare modded one. Feel free to copy the body and test the prop.
