    @hopotumon You should upload your entry. Just because it can no longer win doesn't mean others can't enjoy it.

    @Shootingstar07 I would like to increase the part count but the device I currently use is quite old and won't let me run planes with a higher number of parts.

    @TheFantasticTyphoon what I mean is that this is not challenging.If you want to make a craft,make it both fly good and look good.
