Gorgeous Mig-29, I really love the modelling work! Keep it up! As for performance, it maneuvers a little slower than the real deal. Like the F-16 the plane is designed to be intentionally unstable. Other than that nitpick, very very good work! Even better than mine!!
@fgfrtmyg It is in the pipeline, however I am currently on building-Hiatus, so it will take me a while for me to pick it up. I encourage you to build it yourself though...
Very interesting design! It has met the criteria for the challenge, I have noted and scored your vehicle. I will release the score when the deadline has passed.
@realSavageMan not a problem, it was amusing non-the-less :) should you wish to modify your Ak-vehicle to fit the rules, you are more than welcome to do so
Very interesting design! I have manually reduced the fuel to 2000L in order to keep the vehicle within the Challenge's rules. Flying this is a challenge in its own right! haha xD.
I have noted and scored your blimp. I will release the score when the deadline has passed.
@realSavageMan yes you can :) If it fits the rules, just link it in the comments below.
@Planegenrale download the challenge and build over it. When you upload your build, it will show as a successor to this post. If it doesn't, you can link the vehicle you upload in the comments below. No need to be my follower to enter, as long as the vehicle you build follows the rules.
@Zatomika a hover car is allowed. As long as it follows the rules set in the description above.
@032 I just altered the gear parameters and it worked splendidly! thank you!
As for the air brake, the airplane's true airbrakes are the wheel covers. I.e. When the gears are down, the airbrakes are on (Saving costs at its finest!) .
I can easily make an airbrake inside the aircraft and call it a day but I wish to keep it realistic
I can also make an airbrake inside the aircraft that functions on when the gears are down, but that would slow the plane down drastically for take off.
I can increase the drag of the gear flaps for them to act as the air brake but that would alter the overall flight performance, not reaching the proper airspeed I wish.
If you think you can solve this conundrum, by all means make a successor and I will gladly have a look!
@Sunuv Yes, how else are you going to rotate engines?
@R2d2hunter The Vehicle can ride on sea (as a sea plane of sorts), but as long as it flies from Wright airport to Yeagar airport. If it doesn't fly the whole way, it will loose points.
@UsualPiooneer Sure, as long as the vehicle won't exceed the speed mentioned and doesn't use wing, helicopter or gyro parts to sustain a stable flight.
@asteroidbook345 Will re-write it, thanks for pointing it out
@jerrygriff21 For the image, I have duplicated the aircraft by sending the whole aircraft without cockpit part to the sub-assemblies, and duplicated the plane multiple times. Then I used the attachment editor to attach all the planes together. It doesn't really fly too comfortably, but it gets an awesome screenshot...
Alternatively, you could pick up a few friends, meet up with the multiplayer mod and fly with some friends..
@UsualPiooneer The plane is rather small and simple as is. I felt that keeping this plane simple will keep its charm. Especially for multiplayer airshows if anyone would be interested...
The Centre-of-weight of the plane is behind the Centre-of lift. You need to add weight to the front.
My suggestion is to start by removing all Deadweight and fuel of the plane; move all the fuel onto the wings, and put the deadweight onto the nose area until the Centre-of-Weight is IN FRONT of the Centre-of-Lift.
Congratulations! You have reached second place of the No Wing Challenge / Stability Challenge! Here is the scoring for your vehicle:
Congratulations! You have reached first place of the No Wing Challenge / Stability Challenge! Here is the scoring for your vehicle:
The Challenge is now closed. I would like thank the participants who entered the challenge. The results are as follows:
1ST PLACE: @ssenmodnar 's Sh!t thing
2ND PLACE: @Tatti123456 's No wing challenge entry
3RD PLACE: @jdab5 's SHC (stable hover-craft) MK III
4TH PLACE: @LieutenantSOT 's THIME Blimp Experiment 1
interesting design, although it maneuvers that tad bit too slow... Suggest you drop a bit more drag points, perhaps would help a bit?
@Stinky Agreed, still feel it's better than mine!!

Very interesting design! I like it :D
@TUA54 The harriers were part of the scenery However I don't see downloadable though...

@BagelPlane This tends to happen on mobile browsers when using imgur. I will see what to do with future posts
@RandomUser09 Unfortunately No. This was not a simple, copy paste project for me to make and it took considerable resource to make.
I would suggest to either find a friend or online website willing to 3D print it for you.
I can see them fine... Website moderators?? Any ideas?
@OPaiTaOn
Thanks for the results, didn't think I'd win hehe!
Will you display the results?
@MemriNotTheNewsChannel Thanks you for your evaluation :)
Would you be interested If I trying making this plane myself? Will tag and give credit for your original design ofcourse
Like the egg-shape of it. Personally would extend the nose and cockpit area a bit. Common mistake from my earlier builds...
@fgfrtmyg I am not making requests at this time. Sorry :(
Isn't the Su-17 a swing-winged Su-7 anyway?
Yep, this is my plane, Thanks @SCP1471
You could add My B-52 to favorites and download it any time you want
@WilboorSut 2 per participant.
@realSavageMan not a problem, it was amusing non-the-less :) should you wish to modify your Ak-vehicle to fit the rules, you are more than welcome to do so
RULES UPDATE: 15th MARCH 2021
@BOXboy Made one myself a while back, so I understand it's not an easy build... Hope to see more and better variants in the future :)
@Imjustanordinarydude Stork island
Very few good KA-50s in this game! And very good job indeed!
@Tatti123456 it's not a problem, it's a challenge after all. With these challenges you get to learn a bit more on the game's possibilities.
Pretty good design! Had fun trying out your entry! I have noted and scored your drone copter. I will release the score when the deadline has passed.
@R2d2hunter VTOL thrusters are allowed in the challenge. It's pretty tricky because they use up fuel.
Very interesting design! I have manually reduced the fuel to 2000L in order to keep the vehicle within the Challenge's rules. Flying this is a challenge in its own right! haha xD.

@asteroidbook345 Will re-write it, thanks for pointing it out
@Zatomika the vehicle needs to sustain flight between wright airport to yeagar airport. if it floats or sinks all the way, points will be deducted.

@SCP1471 I will add a 1 of the pics, but if you could put the smoke port in the rear , as shown in this photo, I will gladly add the rest of them
@UsualPiooneer The plane is rather small and simple as is. I felt that keeping this plane simple will keep its charm. Especially for multiplayer airshows if anyone would be interested...
@NintendosmasterpieceMARIO yes, if the plane is a collab, would it be possible to associate 2 users on the site to a single plane creation?
Awesome!! Keep up the good work!

@TheLurkingVexedVortex It's this
@Ruskiwaffle1991 Technically yes, however it would have taken quite a lot of time and effort to make.
Fantastic build! Hats off! Now I can fly like a tumbling owl stick in hay! :D
@ChrisPy Noted. Any way to confirm how to know how many drag points to keep or remove?
@Macrophage - that particular model was incorrectly uploaded, please follow this instead...
