I pretty much had the same idea in my head for this comp. I'm impressed with how quick it is. Just need to sort some landing gear out.
Also how do you read the rules - is it no XML for everything or just the engines?
@JShay I always have a tinker ! But yeah I saw the challenge and really fancied it. I made a super manouvreable plane for it - only to find the AI didn't like it. I may release it - but it needs making look better. Designed it for ability first so not looking great.
@WWIIPlaneBuilder you are absolutely right. Every few tries it does. I just really wanted to at least enter. The AI is really annoying - if you make a craft that's too manouvreable - it doesn't like it. How did I stack up against you?
@JShay kinda semi retired now. I may have a play when the update comes. Just don't have the time that I need. Also the bar is being set higher and higher these days
@Nickasaurus I always wonder as well : maybe he took the "hypnotoad" plane every where he knew how. Honestly - how could you continue to innovate his formula? I think he left before the update - would love to have seen what could be done with the new bits
@stampy he was overloaded for sure. I can't even begin to imagine how many notifications he had. And he always made a point of thanking everyone individually - it must have been a full time job by the end
@SteadfastContracting I will find out when I start the build I guess
@A5mod3us I stand corrected-thanks.

More pitch maybe?
Bit sluggish but looks great
Just watched this on twitch. Very impressive
@JShay thanks buddy. Hope it does well in the comp
@WWIIPlaneBuilder yeah. I think I should have slowed it down a touch but...... POWER
@SteadfastContracting I will follow you anyway
@SteadfastContracting nice of you to say so. I have kinda semi retired - as you say the standard is so so high.
@SteadfastContracting your a good builder mate
@SteadfastContracting because I saw you upvoted a plane of mine - so I had a look through your back catalogue. Some cool stuff!
@Mkenz well the alphabet needs finishing!

Download won't work because of the mod. You going to enter the competition?
@Megagamer250 well if you do fancy playing with it be sure to upload and il rate it
3 things : 1st : great job / idea. 2nd how comes it says you used just 10 pieces? 3rd : you have to make another - bigger version
Upvote for the colour scheme alone
Thanks for the tag. Great build
@iEatApples093 haha thanks - I think as you say your more modern version has it covered tbh

Very nice! Have a compare
Very very nice.
Very pretty. I managed to get it to pitch a bit better by hiding some flaps in the nose. Not that it doesn't fly great
Also it does break up a bit. Probs need to be using the structural wing trick.
Really pretty!
My kinda plane
@yourbrother cool!

No description ? Lazy :-). And I don't think you used enough air inlets :-D. Looks good
Really stunning. Great work
@JShay I know - really fun. Why does the land speed challenge have to stop at the end of the runway :-)

Had a play. Launch on south runway and just watch :-D
Managed to get it down to 2154 drag. No real difference in speed though!
Very nice handling. Something satisfying about chucking a small plane about. I like the detail you used on the intakes aswell
Very pretty
Does what it's says on the tin!
Top marks for going big. I honestly think this is the biggest thing I've flown.
Changed anything?
@Nickasaurus I always wonder as well : maybe he took the "hypnotoad" plane every where he knew how. Honestly - how could you continue to innovate his formula? I think he left before the update - would love to have seen what could be done with the new bits
Bit more pitch and it would fly perfect.
@FiveCubed its back home that's why!
Are you being Sirius?

@2416creeper I went through a whole machine phase. If I made machines now they would be a lot more part friendly with the new update.
@2416creeper haha yes. None of my colour schemes are subtle :-D
@Mkenz maybe we need closure - let's all crash our games one last time with his planes.
@TheFreakyWatermelon nice thanks. Still tagging hypnotoad?!
Works well! Thanks
