@LegnaK well my design was originally a glider, but with jets, it was a true marvel!
@Jackierascal44 you had a much higher thrust to weight ratio and much lighter, I had prop engines which limited my speed, yet was needed to keep to the design of the aircraft.
I knew this aircraft wasn't going to get anywhere in the Tour, but since I had a full week of work I just slapped some stuff on this one and went with it.
then why did it lose to my design?
