I don't think SimplePlanes is still available on TestFlight, since the program has a 90-day limit on testing a beta build starting from when the build is uploaded and there has definitely not been a beta build posted within the last 90 days, meaning that any existing beta builds on TestFlight would no longer be available.
At some point between 1 and 2 hours, the site changes from saying "One hour ago" to "[X] hours ago," but for a short time between then and when it hits 2 hours it still rounds the time down to 1, so it displays "1 hours ago."
Try either increasing the total weight or decreasing the sideways traction on the tires; it's got too much grip for its weight so when you turn it goes up on two wheels, loses half of the grip, and then spins out.
The reason that mods are no longer supported on Android is because Google decided to prevent "third-party" (read: player-created) code from running on their devices. Jundroo had no control over this decision, and is not responsible for the inability to support mods on Android devices. This has been the case for several years now, and is quite unlikely to change.
(As for iOS, it never supported modding to begin with, for much the same reasons).
Well, the entirety of a SimplePlanes download from the site is a six-byte file. That file gives you the aircraft ID (which you can also see in the plane's site URL after the /a/), which the game uses to actually download the plane's XML file (which stores the actual plane data).
Was it that one specific plane, or does it happen with many? If it's every plane, it could be your antivirus registering a false positive with the .splane file type (though I haven't heard of that before).
Assuming the actual save data location is the same for GOG as it is for Steam (there's really no reason why it'd be different; the actual game files might have a different path but the saves shouldn't), your save data will be in the folder: C:\Users\[yourUserName]\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes.
Also, they've done these sales pretty much since the time they had two games available to bundle together, which was... I think SP and SR1 were available as a bundle, so pretty much for the entire lifetime of the game.
Seriously though, I am speechless. This is something that has been joked about and referenced for years now, and now you've actually gone and done it, and it is amazing.

Probably 99.999% of the planes you see on this site are built exclusively using the in-game tools and part selection. There's a few that aren't (using the methods that @PlaneFlightX and @BeastHunter listed), but the overwhelming majority of planes are exclusively made using the in-game builder. It's not the most intuitive system, but it can be pushed really far.
I don't think iOS can do that. On Steam it's done through the betas branch (where you can pick a specific version of the game to install/run), but I don't believe there's an equivalent feature on iOS, at least not legitimately from the App Store.
Sounds like an ambitious project! You might have better luck looking for assistance on an engineering or CNC forum rather than an indie sandbox videogame, though ;)
I think maybe 1 comment that was a "hey calm down guys" sort of thing in response to a big comment argument (the whole chain got deleted so mine went with it).
@TheOfficalMarylander You mean the "Report" button accessed by the drop-down options menu right next to the reply button, for a person to put in genuine bullying, harassment, or other problematic problems, that gets sent directly to the site moderators? Complete with a text box for the same?
@LJh1 I use a computer, but regardless planes don't take up very much space at all. To take up a single GB would require somewhere in the vicinity of three to four thousand planes, and even then that would only be 1/32 of your storage. I think there are probably other things on your phone that are taking up a lot more of your storage than SimplePlanes.
If your device is running out of storage, there are almost certainly more effective ways of fixing this than deleting your planes. SimplePlanes plane saves are quite small, actually.
I've got almost 700 planes and in total they take up less than a quarter of a gigabyte.

If you ask the Flyout people if Flyout has replaced an older game that's similar to Flyout, they will say yes.
Not sure what you were expecting.
I'll also take the opportunity to link a few of WNP78's statements regarding Flyout.
Here and here.

+1Vanish.
- 1150 on Steam, probably somewhere in the realm of 5000 on mobile (I've played since launch but only got it on Steam a few years ago).
- The tutorials, definitely.
- Vastly subjective; I decline to answer.
- Instructions unclear, Yamato.
- If SP gets a successor other than Juno, it won't be SP2. It'll be something quite different.
- Wii.
