Tailsitter Challenge (my first challenge)

18.7k NexusGaming  3.4 years ago

Hello y'all, here is my first challenge:

THE TAILSITTER CHALLENGE!

As the name suggests you must make a tailsitter!
RULES:
XML is allowed (includes infinite fuel, structural wings, negative mass ONLY IF I ALLOW IT, Funky Trees, etc)
Only Android compatible mods are allowed (Fire-and-forget guardian, Hispaniola 20mm, etc)
No unrealistic weapons like dimensional tearing nukes
No more than 800 parts
Can use any engine

MUST BE A SUCCESSOR

GRADING / POINTS

You can get a total of 450 points in this challenge. They can be obtained as follows:

Logicality (50 points max): Is it logical? I'll be judging your plane's logicality based upon how logical your craft would be in the real world. If your plane could be built in the real world, then you're good. Note that infinite fuel is an exception: You can use infinite fuel without harming your score.

Performance (200 points max): As always, I'll score performance by trying your plane out, and seeing how realistically it handles in flight. For example, is the stall speed, max airspeed, maneuverability, acceleration, deceleration and climb rate realistic?

Appearance (75 points max): I will rate appearance based on, well, appearance. Does it look like a pile of trash stuck together with flex tape or does it actually look nice?

Features (125 points max): I'll rate features by checking out what special features your aircraft has. Examples include:
Funky Trees stuff (i.e. Autopilot, automatic ejector seat, etc)
Custom wings
Custom Landing gear
Custom cockpit

REWARDS:

1ST PLACE: 35 UPVOTES + 2 SPOTLIGHTS IF POSSIBLE

2ND PLACE: 20 UPVOTES + 1 SPOTLIGHT IF POSSIBLE

3RD PLACE: 10 UPVOTES

4TH PLACE: 5 UPVOTES

EDIT: NEW DEADLINE IS MARCH 20TH 2021, EXTENDED DUE TO HONORS HW GOBBLING UP MY TIME LIKE A GIANT SEA MONSTER

    @NexusGaming I made some good fuselage art for both of me challenges and basically no one joined, it took me a solid 30-60 minutes to complete, so wasn't worth it.

    @PapaKernels yeah true, once i did a challenge and nobody entered, probably it's because of my fuselage art

    @NexusGaming I'll keep it in mind. Just be glad you have such a high amount of people already joining, my challenges barely get 3.
