(CLOSED).SP Ultralight Challenge

26.7k Dragoranos  2.4 years ago

Updated rules on desc

My First Challenge! (excluding the SPEEED Challenge...)

Please search ultralight plane examples

OK, light aircraft are always fun, so ULTRALIGHT should be even more, right? I have no idea, I've never flown one of these, but on simpleplanes it must be true.

Ok, here it is

RULES

NEED TO BE A SUCCESSOR

Only ultralight helicopters and ultralight planes

Fictional planes are allowed

NO Mods,Only fine tuner and XML

Maximum weight: 300 kg (661 lbs, amiricans)

It can be surpassed if it is a replica, but it must conform to the real plane.

Maximum engine power: 180 hp

Jett rules on desc, eletric planes alowed

It needs to have the at least the tail "structure" exposed, although some security coverage is allowed (if its inside weight limit)

It shouldn't exceed 350 parts, otherwise I won't be able to test it

Details will have less value because that

Must be on SP scale

Old builds allowed, but must change weight if not in limit

Max speed: 150 kph (105 mph, amiricans)

DON'T use other people's planes, that's not cool!

Should look like a Ultralight

Do not modify the massScale too much

Points

Is the description easy to understand? Does it show the aircraft controls well? 0/5

Does the plane fly well? Does the replica fly like the real plane? 0/15

Is the plane beautiful and detailed? Does the replica look like the real plane? 0/10

    I announce that I will update the rules as I will basically be required to do so.

    New Rules:

    It should look like an ultralight.

    Don't modify the mass scale too much

    Airplanes like a CriCri are allowed, but they will receive less points for details.

    Jets are semi-allowed because they have to be VERY small and very low power.

    I suggest you to allow jet engines for two reasons:
    1 - they are very good for simulating propwash of the wings and control surfaces(check newest JamesPLANESii builds)
    2 - IRL there is jet-powered ultralights, like jet-powered variant of Cri-Cri ultralight plane...

    Would 450 parts be acceptable? 350 is a bit on the low side tbh
