Bi-Plane Challenge

105k RailfanEthan  8.1 years ago

Build an aircraft that consists of two sets of front wings, can fly, and is capable of landing and taking off. The bi-plane can be from any year, any country, made up or a real aircraft.

ACME's aircraft: 8/15
Flight: 3/5
Landing/TakeOff: 2/5
Looks: 3/5
Good job on being first to enter!

Salvador's Aircraft: 11/15
Flight: 4/5
Landing/Takeoff: 4/5
Looks: 3/5
Flies like a dream! The exterior looks a little bland, but is easy to land

Manboy's Aircraft: 12/15
Flight: 4/5
Landing/Takeoff: 4/5
Looks: 4/5
Amazing at flying (slightly stiff, but just a little) and the exterior is quite nice, and fits the interior.

Tully's Aircraft: 12/15
Flight: 3/5
Takeoff/Landing: 4/5
Looks: 5/5
The amount of detail is over whelming, although it flies very stiffly.

PLANS: 10/15
Flight: 3/5
Takeoff/Landing: 3/5
Looks: 4/5
Beautiful WW1 bi-plane, although the gun nails the prop during flight.

Cyberpuppiez's Aircraft: 12/15
Flight: 4/5
Landing/Takeoff: 4/5
Looks: 4/5
A futuristic(ish) mix of a WW1 Bi-Plane would look similar to this! I love the way it flies!

Geekpride's Aircraft: 10/15
Flight: 4/5
Takeoff/Landing: 4/5
Looks: 2/5
The plane looks a little bland, but flies nicely.

James' Aircraft: 7/15
Flight: 1/5
Takeoff/Landing: 2/5
Looks: 4/5
Looks are key, but so is being able to fly.

Bald's Aircraft: 9/15
Flight: 4/5
Takeoff/Landing: 2/5
Looks: 3/5
Fast and reliable, but instantly goes nose-first in the ground if you don't use the pitch on takeoff.

    @SCplanes I'm afraid it's too late, it ended a while ago. I'm sure it would have made the top 3, though!
