Bush Flying Challenge (Concluded, Congrats to BogdanX for winning!)
Challenge: build the best bush plane you can!
If you’re wondering if the plane you’re thinking of is a Bush plane, I suggest taking a look at this. I highly advise looking at the examples they give.
Deadline: End of April (One month)
What is a Bush Plane?
A bush airplane is a general aviation aircraft used to provide both scheduled and unscheduled passenger and freight services to remote, undeveloped areas, such as the Canadian north or bush, Alaskan tundra, the African bush, or the Australian Outback. They are used where ground transportation infrastructure is inadequate or does not exist. A bush plane must be designed to be low maintenence, have good STOL performance for its size, and have the ability to get in and out of almost any airfield, unless your plane is a float plane lol.
REQUIREMENTS:
- May be replica or fictional
- Minimum of 75 parts, max of... unlimited. (WOO AWESOME COMPUTER!)
- XML moded parts allowed
- No mod parts, such as smoke trails (So I can test them on my iPad)
- Must be a propeller plane.
- Must be civilian
- Must be a new build, not a modified version of a plane you've built before.
- Must be capable of flight, and takeoff.
- Entry must be a sucsessor, unless you have a good excuse for why you can't make it a sucsessor.
- Aircraft must be realistic. Both in performance, and looks.
- Must have a good description, unless you can't speek good english or somthing.
- No weapons!!!!!
Max of two entries per player.
Your aircraft will be judged on:
Design:
Does it look good? how detailed is it? How much effort has been put into it? (15 points)Performance:
How well does it fly? Does it fly like a real bush plane? Top speed, stall speed, pitching up and down and stuff etc. (20 points, quite important)Practicleness:
Would it work well as a bush plane? Would it be low maintenence? (15 points)Presentation:
Are your screenshots good? Can you see the whole aircraft? Does it fill the picture? Is the description good? Did you use stuff such as paragraphs, explained the controls, use different text, add pictures, use diagrams etc. (10 points)
Aircraft scored out of 60 points
Rewards:
- First: 15 updoots, 3 spotlights.
- Second: 10 updoots, 2 spotlights.

One of the spotlights will be your entry.
- If you have too many points for me to spotlight, I will just replace the spotlight with an extra upvote.
- Every entry gets an updoot, and I will say thanks for entering. ;D
Advice:
Do your research, test your plane all the time while you're building, make sure you've added everything, spend a few hours building.

Test again
We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Ohh
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all, yea
With so many light years to go and things to be found
(To be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh ho ohh
The final countdown, oh ho
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
See that button underneath your escape key on your keyboard? Surround your text with that key and your text turns red. On an iPad it can be found on the far right when you hold down the ‘ key and the other apostrophes come up.
Yes @jamesPLANESii
Oh. The red writing? @Caveman999
No I mean in the description?@jamesPLANESii
