|How you will be "graded'|
Fictional craft:

looks 1-5

maneuverability 1-5

damage 1-5 (I will make a armored plane for it to go against)

defense/armor 1-5 (can it take a hit or can it defend itself?)

detail 1-5 (similar to looks but on how much was put into something)

creativity 1-5

replica:

Realism 1-2

(i would type/paste the ones in the last part but i'm too lazy so replica is everything in fictional but creativity)

|due date|
2nd of december

|rewards|
1st place:
5 upvotes, a follower, and a role in a video for youtube (unless otherwise)

4 upvotes and a role in a video for youtube (If 1st place does not except it)

3rd place:

Other places:
everyone will get a upvote by me but the upvote system in my mind is if you get "a free upvote" then you can just tag me and i'll upvote it.

    @Razor3278 it’s due by then. If not put in by then, then you don’t get to be scored.

    @EngineerOtaku it’s a XML helping mod. It’s fine

    I have the Fine Tuner mod activated for me. Is that allowed, or does it go under mods I can't use?

    @DestinyAviation good, I won’t be able to test till Friday if that is okay. But you have till December anyways

    @Stellarlabs Ok, will do. At around 12K feet it's going around 480mph, so I think it'll be fine

    @DestinyAviation yea... interceptors have different techniques too. Tag me when done.

    @Stellarlabs Well, at 10K feet it's still going almost 450-500mph. I took the jet engine out and the speed is more realistic, but the agility really suffered (it didn't have too much to begin with). I guess it'll be fine since it's an interceptor, not a fighter.

    @DestinyAviation that’s fine. Bombers I use go to the height of 10k

    @Stellarlabs So, I have my plane for the challenge. Only problem is that at about 30K feet, it's going almost 700 mph. What should I do? It's a prop plane with a jet hidden inside (it physically can't take off without it)
