Welcome
This is the LCA Challenge. Your only goal is to make a light combat aircraft. I have been thinking about hosting a challenge for a few months now and now I think is the time. The thumbnail itself is already 3 months old
What is a Light Combat Aircraft?
A light combat aircraft (LCA) is a light, multirole jet/turboprop military aircraft, commonly derived from advanced trainer designs, designed for engaging in light combat. The mission can either be in a light strike or attack missions, reconnaissance, interdiction roles or trainer roles.

@AircraftExperimental OH SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THE ENTIRE CHALLENGE
But im really busy rn I dont think I can post the results anytime soon
@AlivePan there's is no one rating my aircraft right now
@AlivePan It's ok man, i'm busy at the moment.
@Khanhlam Nah its fine ill extend it. Im too lazy and busy to grade people right now
@AlivePan I'm late xD
Guess I'm off the challenge but I'll tag you when it's done.
@AlivePan thanks alot! :)
@Khanhlam k
@AlivePan Can you make the challenge 3 days longer? I haven't finished my aircraft, especially cockpit.
gonna proceed to review the appearance of each aircraft cause I'm bored asf and I have no motivation to do anything
@Khanhlam its fine
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes I did, set the mass to 0,3 and it's still a bit heavy.
@Khanhlam you can use XML to set the mass of your fuselage pieces to 0 and reduce the overall weight
@AlivePan
My frame (no wings yet) weights like 7000kg and i added fuel, it goes 11k, is that ok?
