Rules:
1. No mods can be used, although XML modding is allowed
2. Keep the part count at 150 parts or under. I know you can't tell how many parts the plane has in the app, so I won't be too str... rict about this, but try your best.
3. The aircraft must be relevant to the time period of about 1890-1920.
4. You are only allowed one entry. Make it count!
5. Your entry must be a successor.
6. You can use any of the alternate cockpits in the game.
