Hey guys! This is my new challenge

It’s called the grandpa challenge because your goal is to make a plane that flies the slowest and maneuvers the best.

RULES

• no zero drag or zero weight. All other xml modding is allowed

• no stealing planes, they must be your own

• 1,000 part limit (I don’t see why but that’s the limit).

• It must be original (no reuploads)

SCORING

How slow does it fly? (20 points)

How good does it look (10 points)

How good does it fly? (10 points)

What are some extra details that tie the build together? (5 points)

    Question: do you need the plane to fly at low speed always or just be able to fly at low speed? In the first case, I would create a small biplane, and in the second, an aircraft with a variable wing geometry.
