I don't know if this is still going - I was looking back through the challenges to find something I hadn't tried. I've put my Kaplos up as a successor plane, hope you like it.
This didn't make it into the top three of the Polar Plane Challenge, but it was definitely one of the better entries. I liked the care you'd take with how it looks and the innovative skid steering.
Congratulations! You came third in the Polar Plane Challenge. I liked this simple and effective plane. The three jets gave it plenty of power and made it quite easy to fly, and I liked the combination float / skis.
Congratulations! You came second in the Polar Plane Challenge. I really liked this plane, not only did it have well-designed skis, it was also stable in the air and easy to fly. Good work!
Congratulations! You win the Polar Plane Challenge! This is an incredible piece of work. It flies nicely, the working skis are really well thought out and the whole thing looks good. A worthy winner.
I'm struggling with this one - I've got one that's fast but inconsistent and my other designs have been interesting disasters. My favourite was the one that randomly decided to climb to 20000 feet, then power dive through the ring and into the water. Oh well, I've got another couple of days yet.
@Himynameiswalrus This was a bit of an experiment at going for a specific look. I might have messed up and not followed the rules for the competition, but I still think the plane is good looking.
@Himynameiswalrus Here's a drone armed with bombs. Fly straight and level and drop the bombs with group 2, they jump over the rear wing before falling to the ground.
@Himynameiswalrus Here's my entry from the Bandit Run competition. It's definitely unusual.
@salvador3031 Am I becoming your nemesis? I've never been someone's nemesis before.
@Supercraft888 I saw that race. Your plane was pretty nice, and at least it looks like a proper plane.

Thank you very much - and congratulations to @BRuthless.

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. JUDGING IS IN PROGRESS.

Well, I'm in. The faster I made my planes, the more they crashed. So I've entered a 1:40 ish plane that crashes less.

@Delphinus Thanks! Oddly enough, making it fly wasn't too difficult. Lining up all those little portholes was the hard bit.
I'd like to enter my Megahauler: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/bMQ2MT/GP-84-Megahauler

@Himynameiswalrus A flying wing that I'm really pleased with, it turned out well.

@Himynameiswalrus Here's another drone, looks pretty badass.
Trying again with a legitimate entry. My XBP is up as a successor - and thanks for the second chance.
@deusalgor Whoops, I didn't see that the fictional ones had to be biplanes, sorry. Can I try again with a valid entry?
I'm in, my Sabine is uploaded as a successor.

My Swiftstrike can beat it despite not having wheels for the takeoff: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/mnG6fM/GP-54-Swiftstrike

@SUPERSAMROCK Well, it is meant to be an airliner. They're usually pretty big.
I'm in, my Diomede is uploaded as a successor.
@epicness Me too! I had about 10 attempts before I managed a successful landing.
@spefyjerbf Glad you enjoyed the challenge, thank you for your entry.
Do you want the fighter to have jets or props? Or is either fine?
Yay, I won! I enjoyed the challenge, I hadn't really tried to build a "proper" car before, I was pretty please with how it turned out.
