@bobthetitan123 I'm not part of the cool kids club so I don't get as many upvotes :P
I'll tell you a secret. I've got a special project I'm working on. Hopefully it'll turn out good, but it's my most complex model yet, so it's taking me some time. I hope it looks as cool when it's done as it does in my head!
This thing boggles my mind. That collective works so well. I don't think there's a more stable rotorcraft on this site than this one! Very VERY well done!
Looks like you beat me to it. I had started building one, but it got pushed aside for other projects. Great work on this model though. Love the detail.
It looks awesome. I tested it for take-off and landing, and general performance, and my only concern is how it's going to perform on the course, since it tends to flip out at full elevator.
@XVIindustries The challenge requires a lap on the Oveanview speedway. That means a take-off from a paved runway. There are plenty of planes on this site already that use rear skids and take-off just fine. It really shouldn't be a problem.
That pretty much answers the seaplane question, as well, I think.
Considering that it's meant to hook to an airship moving an near equal speed, i don't think landing on a stationary rod on the ground is a good idea. This thing's stall speed is like 110mph :/
@bobthetitan123 There is a plane called a prowler, though. The A-6 :D
@bobthetitan123 Nope, just checking which class you're entering.
Fantasy Unlimited?
@PhilipTarpley Hey thanks! Glad you like it!
@Garuda1 Cool. I might enter then :D
@Delphinus Thanks for the Upvote!
@FlOu Thanks!
@General360 Mods choose features. Gotta get their attention to earn a feature.
Does it have to be the plane's primary fuselage, or does it merely have to be incorporated into the overall design?

@bobthetitan123 Cool! That's super encouraging :D
@FlOu glad you like it.
@CarterIndustries @Cedy117 Thanks!
@BlueWhiskySP Thanks :D
@Cedy117 some day.

@LePancake No problem. It's a great build.
@Chesscube Sounds good.
@Chesscube Just posted the deadline at the top of the description. Friday November 20
Lands just fine now. Good job.
It looks awesome. I tested it for take-off and landing, and general performance, and my only concern is how it's going to perform on the course, since it tends to flip out at full elevator.
Looks good, but can't land without nosing over. I suggest moving the landing gear forward of the COM a bit.
This plane doesn't have enough fuel to even finish the race course.
Landing this plane without damaging it is nearly impossible. That's one of the requirements to qualify.
What class is this for?
What plane is this a replica of?
@kikasshes that would be pretty wizard.
@kikasshes yes. But it would count as a twin engine class.
Being able to take-off and land is a challenge requirement. Otherwise it can't run the Oceanview Speedway race course.
Is this for the fantasy unlimited class?
@Stingray Plenty of people entered successful planes in the last challenge. It's really not that difficult.
@Exumer Sure thing.
I suppose a flying indi racer is pretty fantastic :D
@merasmusthewizard You're only allowed two. I may change this later, but for now just two entries in separate classes.

@Delphinus Great entry :D
@bobthetitan123 @goboygo1 Welcome aboard.
@bobthetitan123 TBA. I'll have one by the end of the week. I can say it will be no less than two weeks from Friday.
@Cedy117 @jheffernan @ProKillaV12 Thanks! I'm glad y'all like it!
Not bad. Change your rear wing to symmetric, and move your COM forward and everything will smooth right out.
Also, an upvote would be nice ~_^

@Cedy117 @realluochen9999 @Stingray Thanks y'all!
@TheSteampunkCat All hail the Steam Lords!
Nicely done. The Pond Racer was a sexy little plane. Too bad it was only around for 2 seasons.
@LjSpike -shrug-
@LjSpike likely because of the large wing, which is necessary for STOL performance.
@Cedy117 Thanks!
