GLIDER CHALLENGE
Hey everyone, I'm new to the Simple Planes community. However, outside of the game i have a passion for gliders and sailplanes. I thought I would design a challenge for the whole community to participate in.
RULES: Design a glider of your choice. It can be an actual model or an imaginary (including futuristic) plane. The winner will be chosen by the community under certain criteria: design, glide slope, performance, stability, etc. A glider in this challenge will be classified as a plane that flies self-sustained without the help of any external propulsion. However, any launching device or tow plane to get the plane to a specific altitude will be accepted. If your glider must take off using a final approach location, please indicate so.
GOOD LUCK! Let's see some amazing gliders!
