My Tournament Entry

578 icouldntthinkofaname  8.4 years ago

This plane is different than my other uploads in many ways, but mainly that it was made on a laptop instead of an IOS device or a Kindle Fire tablet. I haven't really played this game in a while before the day of this being uploaded, so that's a part of the reason why this plane isn't that well-made. Also, it was kinda rushed, because I wanted to participate in the Bandit Run Tournament. Because of this, the plane is kind of hard to control. Good luck. (Note: You need to take this off from the air, and there aren't any landing gear parts.)

    the overall design is too small. engine isn't strong enough. is smallest engine I can only assume is still at default horse power and such settings. the overall body is lacking in aerodynamics. the wings could be bigger. the wing load is a tad bit on the higher side. and you should be using costomizable fuel tanks. they're the cylinder fuel tanks you see at the bottom of the parts list. you can customize the shape of those things. much better for building planes in genneral. now I will say. I very likely doubt you'll build a winning design in 12 days but its always good to improve. so since you're going to be doing a single engine design. use the largest propeller engine and max out its HP. (you have to go into the settings of the part. which allows you to add more proppellers make them thicker. and make them have more power. and remember. if you ever want to check the stats of your plane. just open the menu in the top left and hit plane statistics (or specifications idk either one or something you should see it). it will tell you important information. the key thing you'll want to see is wing load. it should be as low as you can. 25lbs/ft is good. even lower is better.
