This was going to be my plane for the Flyweight Oceanview Tournament, but it's been replaced by a faster, less safe one. The only problem is that this one is more elegant, more consistent, and I just plain like it better and don't want to completely throw it away. So, here it is. When I test it, it goes 1:01-1:02 consistently and rarely or never crashes.

    @GrumpyRacing You're probably right. But, despite the math saying otherwise, I'll continue to believe I have a chance. Good luck!

    I completely agree with you on the consistency. I'm looking at about the same rate sadly. Unless someone built a plane the AI just loves, I expect a winner to come out of the 1:00-1:02 range. @ABC123

    @GrumpyRacing Haha. Truthfully, I wouldn't worry too much-I think the new plane's extra speed will just help it crash faster! Having a hard time getting consistency above 50%; I'll be surprised if it survives two rounds. It's a fun "specimen" plane, though. I'm actually loving the part limit, it's already made me much better at building.

    Simply terrified if this is the plane you decided was NOT fast enough lol.
