@mikoyanster OK;)
@AviownCorp Yes, you can ;-)
@mikoyanster may I submit another one now?
I might be in so yah maybe
still need to wait till sunday to submit my 3... :(
@mikoyanster Alright, I'll submit my second (and last) drone, if possible.
@Ariathe I think you can ... in total are accepted up to 3 aircraft in competition.
@mikoyanster I'd like to know if I could post another drone. I don't know if I can, considering my Camilla is already in the second phase and this challenge is already nearing its closing date...
Check out the progress of the challenge
@mikoyanster ok I am tagging you with them
@AviownCorp tell me what airplanes have problems and I reviewed.
@mikoyanster Many of the successsors are not following the rules. You can see that they are using more weapons, all wings are not attached with the fuselage and many engine flames are passing through the wings which is not a realistic design. I therefore request you to check those out.
So the wings can't attach to the engine.?
@MethaManAircraft the wings can be what you want. Through experience the simple designs with canard, give good results.
Oh right :)
@mikoyanster ok, it just got me worried, and about the wings?
@MethaManAircraft You have time to spare.
@mikoyanster pls wait, I cant upload mine for a week and a half or 2 ;-;
PS: what do you mean by 'all wings must be attached to fuselage' ?
@Valkyrie Deadline 4 of November included.
@Valkyrie No problem, you can fix it and re-upload.
Is it still open "The Challenge" if yes ill make the mk 2 and new one and i could delete the ZF - 378
