welcome to the almostlight challenge!!! I hope to see your entry!!
Use this for reference on how to make an almostlight
In this challenge you are a rival company to the popular taikav areo industries and, after their release of the all new almostlight aircraft, need to make a competitor to the t16 sabertooth. Here are some rules to follow to make your almostlight comply with national guidelines.
RULES YOU NEED TO FOLLOW!!
some rules may change and some may be added, check back regularly!

@LieutenantSOT no........
OHHHHH. YOU were the one that made this? Cool!
Okay it is now a succesor
@Simplememes ok, please make it a successor
I also published a floarplane version
@PapaKernels ok,I'll try change it I only borrowed 4 parts of the tail tho
@Simplememes i would rather it be of your own creation, i will add that rule, unless its ok with the original creator
I hope it is
OK my entry is in, although it is listed as a successor to the ESJ dragonfly as I used part of the tail assembly, is this ok with you?
I'm back on SimplePlanes and this is my entry for this challenge: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/e3p6z0/Genavda-G-35S
@DumbPlaneMaker ok
@DumbPlaneMaker Sorry, I'll be inactive for some time (I don't know how long), but if I return before 20th of March I'll enter.
@Stanmich i think i said before it was individual, i think that's what i have on my example.
@PapaKernels does the power mean in total?
@PapaKernels I mean something like the SW-51 but technically an ultralight
@Stanmich hope your kidding, no weapons.
Time to make a new ultralight fighter
@DumbPlaneMaker YES you NEED to!! its the only way you can get accurate weight and power so i should probably require it.
Can I modify the weight and drag with Overload?
Great! I'm in!
@BagelPlane no that's fine, as long as it's not for actual military use.
@PapaKernels Would be adding rockets for a smoke trail effect violate the no weapons rule? Just curious.
@PapaKernels I was mostly joking. Although it's a good thing I saw the limit before going nuts on th cockpit detail. Also mine is posted now. Hope it's what you were going for.
