Auto Credit Based on RAF1's (Closed) Challenge; Pedestal Fighters!
FINISHED HERE!
I tried to enter this challenge. I entered because of the reward, but I started losing motivation. Others churned out amazing builds that made this vastly inferior. All the while, my motivation languished and this creation got worse and worse. While some parts of this build I quite like (the fuselage), overall it is a piece of trash. The final straw for me was the horrible flight model and the landing gear. I will stop entering challenges for a while because I can’t make deadlines.
IF ANYONE FINISHES THIS I WILL GIVE IT MY FULL SUPPORT.
Controls:
VTOL down for VTOL.
Ag1 for canopy opening.

@Raf1Please remove this from the challenge judging. I will revive No awards for it, but I am placing my support behind this.
I’m interested to see how this piece of trash does in the challenge.
@BeastHunter Yes, a painting of a plane you made right? Seems like a pretty cool one but if you try participating just because of the reward, you'll end up making a bad plane with no motivation that not even you will like. If you try participating in a chalenge, do it for fun not for the reward.
@Korzalerke Did you read the reward?
That's the problem right there
@GhostHTX Sorry. That was a resentful joke. Your plane deserves several more upvotes than mine. But I will be able to spotlight it after I post a block and the whole community upvotes it, ignoring everybody talented.
Dont worry! I remembered ;-) @BeastHunter
@GhostHTX That’s because this is BeAsThUnTeR QuAlItY! Don’t forget to mindlessly upvote!
This isnt bad, though - you just need to finish it?
@BeastHunter How’s this? I definitely didn’t get super carried away on this project…
Not the final build, just kind of a progress report https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/33ggaC/Pedestal-Failurent
@Dash8Q400 Thanks!
This looks epic, I’ll do my best to make it epicer
@Bobyo Untrue.
@BeastHunter oh wow you did way better than I ever will
@BeastHunter ah well, true.
@X99STRIKER Finally you admit it.
@Dragorans That’s another reason I quit.
I also lost motivation to make another entry because of other unbeatable entries.
@BeastHunter
Yes. And in that area it is a complete failure.
@FalcoOne Okay. If you can fix it, post it public and I will spotlight.
Imma try something with the flight model, you want the link to an unlisted when done?
Edit: Ok this is beyond my ability to fix. What need to be done is moving the CoM way back, it's so far forward that it's basically a dart
@X99STRIKER Have you flown it?
I mean the entire pedestal design is odd in the first place so as far as looks it’s not a complete failure.
i-
@Bobyo Yes, but yours can rotate on the pitch axis and shoot down other planes.
