@ShrimpRex you need to add more bits. Honestly, I've seen some entries that haven't yet been submitted, and you don't stand much chance without at least 250 parts. Minimal part count for the build to be rated as an entry is 150.
@Speedhunter I've just placed very floaty blocks on a piston, made them tiny by scaling them (don't scale mass, it reduces buoyancy), and placed a VTOL engine (equally tiny) on the floating block so it will always stay above the surface.
Use this. It lets you edit part properties without leaving the editor. calculateDrag is in the first tab for every part. And here's the tutorial for sharp trailing edge. You can use multiple intakes placed that way with different intake angles to get a curve on the trailing edge.
You should, in my opinion, practice techniques for sharp trailing edge. It will give the build a far more realistic look. If you want, I can link you to my simple sharp trailing edge tutorial. I also think that your wings are too thick and that the fuselage is a bit too skinny. However, upvote for the effort and paint scheme. Also, use calculateDrag = False to get realistic drag (should be around 3500 for this plane).
Replacing an armored purpose-made attacker with a multirole that is as durable as a wet paper... Genius move.
@Mercyaircraftcorporation Soviets failed? So, Su-25 doesn't exist? Or Il-2 Sturmovik? Also, technically, only Soviets actually succeeded at making a flying tank.
Performance are a bit extreme. You should, in my opinion, reduce engine power to get more realistic acceleration, and reduce brake torque. Other than that, nice build.
@randomusername it does seem to meet the requirements. I've already given some feedback to some competitors. Just make sure description says it's an e-fan and not a jet, and have realistic performance for that.
@TheDestroyer818 there's usually not quite a lot of activity on the site during the winter. Also, I'm not posting as much as I used to. Btw, you should join a few Discord servers to more easily chat with other members of the community. You can find some in my bio.
Your entry has been rejected as its part count is below the required 150. I suggest upgrading your entry with detail you would find on the real plane (antennas, doors, canopy frame...) and posting again.
@ThePilotDude indeed, that plane matches requirements in everything but propulsion. However, if I start making exceptions, the challenge could become a complete mess.
@JediWolf that's how you pass the qualification. However, that's not how you win against a well-made 999 part entry with interior, custom control surfaces, every detail in place...
@randomusername eh, it's full of very skilled builders, and we chill. You know, discuss things like how can you build a windshield of a GA plane and whose mom is more gay...
@Simplemike sorry if I've hurt your feelings buddy, that's not what I was going for. I hope that my feedback will help you improve your skill.

+1Just post it already. There's no need to have ten teaser posts for one build.
+1Nice fuselage and cockpit. Wings do seem to have an accurate shape, but are, I believe, a bit too big. Also, needs flaps.
+1@ThunderNova no problem.
+1Aww, not for the GA challenge :(
+1I can accept it, but I'd rather have a conventional plane.

+1You're using gyros to power rotors? Witchcraft!!!
+1@HistoricBirds arresting hook and catapult attachment are in game files, but not yet implemented.
+1@Chancey21 ok, I'll accept the King Air.
+1You should remove the unlisted versions between your public upload and the last version by Xiaopapa so he gets successor points.
+1I've removed profanity from your post. Better than removing the whole post, right?
+1USS Beast is lacking a collider on the rear wall of the hangar deck. Elevators work great though, and sinking the USS Beast and watching it fill with water is fun :)

+1@The3Box6With0AXOnIt @randomusername no problem.
+1Thanks for the entry.
+1@Chancey21 that's still a modification. Intended purpose of Twin Otter is commercial transport.
+1@The3Box6With0AXOnIt yes, it's basically a small civilian plane.
+1You can find a link to the biggest SP Discord server in my bio. It's Builders Chat.
+1@ND40X I've seen it and commented on it. Not a winner material, but I'll accept it.
+1@BlackhattAircraft well, he did ask for it. Challenges are meant to inspire users to build things of certain kind.
+1@Deboss311 it would make it a bit complicated for me to track your entry if it is not a successor and you already have a successor entry.
+1@Chancey21 if one is a single and one a twin, you can enter both.
+1@Shippy456 no. It has to be intended for personal transport. It may be capable of aerobatics.
+1@8bitgamer33 it would realistically take at least half an hour to reach that speed.
+1@TheDestroyer818 oh. That sucks.

+1@randomusername that's great.
+1@Chancey21 eh?
+1@LKAF1 is reading the description really that difficult? "Intended purpose of your design must be personal transport."

+1@Chancey21 it's a part of being a member of the community. I answered very comment I could before I was a moderator.
+1@TheDestroyer818 why not?
+1@RamboJutter for every build, of course. I have to rate every one, so why not post apl notes and results?
+1@CustomAircraftMods Hey, wait a second... You already requested that! Still waiting for one more user to request RG version :)
+1@Spacedoge12345plane no problem.
+1@Easypete you have been issued a strike for foul language and insult.
+1Your post has been removed as spam. Please use a proper tag. This doesn't seem to be a game-related announcement.
+1Thanks for the entry.
