My entry for the GA Challenge, unmodded, but with a few tricks up it’s sleeve. The Jupiter Canary, produced on Simple Island for commercial flight in 1983, but shut down because of a production issue. It was then a collectible, since only 7 were made. Recently, Simple Island has had complaints of no plane tours of the island for tourists. The local complaint office told them to build their own plane. So some did, some died. Apparently a lot of tourists really wanted a veiw of the island. The mayor sent out an official order to make cheap, commericial aircraft with a lot of windows. But not an ultralight. The Department of Aircraft Production dug out the blueprint for the Canary. Ignoring the “DO NOT USE!” sticy note on it, DAP immediately started producing this offense to light commercial aircraft. It was a rousing success. Or so the government says. Keep in mind that this was created on IOS, so... yeah.
