Auto Credit Based on Trijetz's 1 Ton Challenge! (CLOSED)

Epic Engineering's submission to the 1 Ton Challenge by Trijets. Adding jet another aircraft to our line of personal aircraft, this is by for the smallest and most beginner friendly to date. Although the airbrake makes very short landings possible, it is advised not to break to sharply on landing as not prang the aircraft. The MicroPlane adheres to all rules of the challenge, so unfortunately, we are unable to add our new ultra chrome paintjob. But the classic Night Sky paintjob will definately make you look richer than you are when landing at Bandit fore some Fire and Spice. Thank you for your interest in this Product by Epic Industries. If you have any questions, your feedback is highly appreciated.

    @MattEpic its okay. Just make it a bit lighter and reupload it. You are only off by like 200 pounds.

    @Trijets Hm, to be fair I was working under the premise of the 1 ton challenge. As I use the metric system, maybe I neglected the conversion. The loaded weight is 994kg, in the limit of the 1 metric tonne requirement of the challenge. If you need it to be less than 2000pds it can be done though

    Dont you know the loaded weight is over 2,000 pounds? I will give you one more chance to lighten up the plane by reuploading this. If the next one is still over 2,000 pounds, the build is disqualified.
