Just a quick 10 mins build for the Old engine challenge.
This build was free of XML, Overload, Funkytree of any kind.
Just pick and stick like the old fashion way.

EDIT : I just realized that the engine provided from the challenge was 0.5 drag and mass. I'll just post another one with 1 drag and mass.

x1 drag and mass version

So... the smallest cockpit block still have so much drag so I put it behind the engine to let the engine take all the drag instead which lead to a problem that the cockpit need to be backward.
But it fly anyway lol.

Also if I could invert the engine this will ended up with push-pull configuration which I think is potentially faster.
