Auto Credit Based on Sockdragger's The "Santa Claus Needs Toy Planes" Challenge (Ended)
Did you think I'd stop at just one LEGO airplane? NO!
P.S. Be careful when landing it on water, because the LEGO designers didn't anticipate that

Overall ranking:
worthy contestant: congratulations!
@B25mitchel Thanks. Although it's not perfect either (I posted the Lego pieces with perfect proportions, but it was very difficult to maintain them
Wow this is nice! I made a lego plane too but its not even half as good as this
@Seeras thanks
@Sockdragger
Done 🎅
@seeras This plane is a contender for the Santa Claus needs Toy Planes challenge. Can you please make it a successor to this
No problem. I can request an admin to add it.
The short version to get the plane into the competition is to just detach the cockpit, then save the plane -without cockpit- as a subassembly. Then download the cockpit from the challenge, and add the plane you just saved to that one. Simpleplanes looks at the cockpit to determine'successors' and by building your plane on your previous one, you made it a successor to that.
@Sockdragger I wanted to add this to the challenge, but I don't know how to make it a receiver. I assume it's not a problem if it's a receiver of an aircraft already participating in the challenge?
