@KiNo Yes ive downloaded and tested. The most annoying thing is it crashes...every...single...time, when tested on android tablet. I guess it just needs PC power to work.
@Alienbeef0421 thanks, just had a test with it, reliability seems 60/40, it never seems to miss rings, just crashes in loads of different places!!. Mine hardly ever crashes but there is one ring it misses about 30% Mine is on public download if you havent seen.
@Tully2001 thanks, yeah as others have said, going much faster seems to challenge the AI too much, results become unpredictable. I would need a fresh design to go much faster than 40sec
Thanks, yeah I think that is just the spec for one plane, not overall rules for max allowed dimensions. I have allready included standard propeller (three blade 80" fixed pitch) and engine (350bhp) on my plane. :)
@Liquidfox Thanks, I have a version that will land and take off from water but looks terrible and does not fly very nice. I will try again getting something close to this functional.

Well done, from one semi-finalist to another.
Lots of interesting stuff going on with this one. Well done. Looks like you spent a mental amount of time on it!
Won 6 races and reached semi-final, beating some far more complex planes. Good result.
@Alienbeef0421 i have one that finishes in 36sec, (occasionally). Goes 600mph and shakes like a Polaroid picture.
@EarthwormJim quite aggressive pitch to control speed with good acceleration.

@Alienbeef0421 49ft is pretty wide, half that should do the job, only need a little plane for this.
I'm on at around 40secs, is this still competitive?
@FireNut58 Yeah its just a quick idea, I've not attempted to make it roll properly, just balanced so it would fly as a plane.
@boBylliB you might be interested in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_jet
Best height: 22,000ft, out of fuel
Wow, not a plane I am familiar with but love the look, so fat and stubby. Detail is great.

@Treadmill103 Thanks, It wasnt easy to make it both fly and hydro, I wont be making another of these!
