Canard Aircraft Challenge (closed, but feel free to keep adding more builds for fun)
The inherent danger in canard aircraft is their instability. At high speeds they become unpredictable and can end up tumbling through the air and tearing itself apart.
To combat this, engineers added powerful computers to implement into the automated control unit. In simple planes there are no computers, and it shows.
So I challenge the community to work those brain wrinkles and come up with some canard aircraft.
Rules and info:
-Since I'm running mobile try to keep the part count under 3000
-replicas and/or fighters are discouraged bit are not against the rules. I won't be testing combat ability, and making a replica doesn't work your creative parts.
-usage of an existing aircraft, even heavily modified is prohibited.
-usage of subassemblies from other makers is allowed, however, your build better match or exceed the work and detail that went into the parts you used. Failure to do so is an affront to the original poster, and points will be docked heavily.
-take your time, projects finished within the first week will be ignored and disqualified regardless of quality. If you can finish it in a week and make it look good you can finish it in a month and make it look better.
-must be a successor
-points based on flight characteristics, quality and effort. Combat ability and accuracy to real world models are not factored in.
Y'all got until July-4 to wow yourselves and me. Take your time and work your creative parts!

As for prizes, all valid entries will receive an upvote. the top 5 entries will get 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of their uploads upvoted.
@mike996 it's primary pitch control must be canard style. It would otherwise be called forward swept wing challenge. So just the canard
@FarrowTECH . dont fully understand the challenge is it only build an aircraft with canards or is the swept wings a must
@emprit thanks
@FarrowTECH OK I'll make an original design for You
.
@WiiSmol no prob, good luck
@FarrowTECH oh ok mate thanks
@WiiSmol look at the highlighted comment. It explains the prizes
@FarrowTECH btw whats the prize
@WiiSmol yep
@Yeeturmom ikr? I was thinking about calling them that!
can we build fictional plons
You know what, f#ck you! bullpups your plane
@Esjope as long as it's unfinished you can continue building it.
@FarrowTECH oh ok, no I know who to do them, I asked because I already was doing a canard and I wanted to know how much I shall modify it
@Esjope I've been making my own canard craft for the part efficiency challenge. I can link you the unlisted prototype if you want a reference for In-game.
@Esjope the pitch control must be a canard type. It should be stable, not unstable.
I will be join the challenge, but one question it has to be unstable or just have canards?
@IceCraft all good, you got a month to experiment and come up with something. If it doesn't work don't worry. it's a challenge for a reason.
I tried to do it once... it sucked kinda... it was really hard to control
@FarrowTECH k
@Kangy OnePlus 8 pro
What kind of mobile device can run 3k parts?
@FarrowTECH lols
