@SledDriver simply fill it with a gas that floats on air (produces lift) and it will fly. we in germany have a youtuber crew that build a balloon out of tinfoil (the real life guys is the name of the group and the name of the clips is alufolien balloon).
@SledDriver nice led zeppelin reference. fun fact: a zeppelinf from led flies well so the guys who told the band that they will fly like a led zeppelin actualy wished them well.
@Thederpingmemes the point of my experimental seaplane challenge is to build a more or less normal plane thats isnt a seaplane at all and fitting it with retractable swimmers so that it can land on water.
5/5 for lading performance. 5/5 for fligth performance/duty oerformance. 5/5 for the use of the limitations (its a bit wobbly but stable like a boss). collected points 15/15.
@Apfelsaft where comes your name from and did you have an idea what @Thederpigmemes want this part for? it looks like a retractable float and i have a challenge up that asks for normal planes that are fittet with such things and i find it suspicious that this part was uploaded after my challenge.
@stig27 jupp bith can be used the only two rules are realy that you have to build a plane that isnt a seaplane and that it needs retractable floats to land on water. you can even build a dornier 335 (its one of the planes that get greenlight automatcaly if they get the floats on).
@doge thanks man i had some trouble in my first challenge because the only plane that was a succesor wanst fitting the challenge and all of the winners didn build a succesor so that i did think about a way to overlook all of the planes that fit the bill but arent succesors at the same time.
@doge i can do it yes but i am not sure how to tell the rules even with the fact in mind that the rules only forbid classic seaplane designs like flying boats.
@doge thats a nice plane. and realy: i have a challenge up that is for planes that arent realy seaplanes by construction (canards, single wings and everything with the wing and engine configuration of a me262) but the challenge isnt getting much attention yet but i have a idea up in this challenge and that is to use a unlistet post that is linked to collect all planes that arent succesors from the challenge post. would you mind to help the challenge to get some steam? i ask because you build often and nice and i think you will like the idea to use a collector post too. so are you on board?
@VeMar the only two real rules are: it cant be a seaplane by construction (like your average boeing 747) and it nees rectractable swimmers if it fits both bills it is considered as a participant. it can be a single wing, a canard or like i said something that isnt able to land on water by its own fuselage.
i have noticed that you have build a seaplane. that looks also not totaly bad. i have a challenge up for seaplanes that are based on planes that are not inharently seaplanes (planes with engines under the wings, canards and single wings).
@Llama44 die aufgabe ist ein wasserflugzeug zu bauen das einziehbare schwimmer hat und einer konstruktion folgt die nicht zu einem wasserflugzeug passt. wenn du mitmachen willst und ne idee hast zeig mir den flieger bevor du uploadest und ich sage ob der flieger passt.
@SledDriver did you have a idea how i should formulate some parts of the description? oh and i didn know any try for a waterplane that is good for a thumbnail in the challenge. no one build such a craft even in real life.
@SledDriver i had that idea because my first challenge (a the sky crawlers challenge that went that went close to unnoticed) didnt get anny succesor planes (the winner wasnt even aware of the challenge until i asked if he wants to put his sanka into the run) and so i had the idea to make a collectors post so that i have an aesier time to get the control about nun sucessor uploads by seperating them for the rest of the comments.
@SledDriver basicaly yes and and at best constructions that arent normal for such planes like your normal b747 or a me262 (both arent able to land on water without expendable floats because of their engine placement).
@sexylips35 hey i have startet a challenge for experimental waterplanes but the reason i mentioned it here isnt because of i want that the challenge get some traction but i rather want that someone even bigger than datom, kyusha or devilsfish is looking at my idea for collecting all of the planes that arent succesors but are posted for the challenge. i interestet i show you how i hope it works and i only want a genuine comment about the trick that i worked out.
@sexylips35 better than before. sometimes the small details are the details that matter the most. perception is relative like the knowledge of a lot of americans (seriously i am watching at this moment when writing this post a video with a american reaction youtube whom thinks ford invented the car and einstein was american by the way the video says that he reacts to german inventions. and such people trust more theyr perception as they should i am a huge fan of such eye tricks).
@Datom lets hope and i am not shure but possibly i am the first user who makes a special post to collect planes for a challenge that arent succesors. so i hope that at last this idea will last.
@SledDriver the mythbusters did it.
@SledDriver simply fill it with a gas that floats on air (produces lift) and it will fly. we in germany have a youtuber crew that build a balloon out of tinfoil (the real life guys is the name of the group and the name of the clips is alufolien balloon).
@WahrscheinlichIch warum wurdert mich das nicht im geringsten. gutes design btw.
@SledDriver exactly. you the first one who noticed this.
@SledDriver and thais is with the right knowledge actualy a wish for good luck (because you can make a working balloon oiut of lead).
@SledDriver nice led zeppelin reference. fun fact: a zeppelinf from led flies well so the guys who told the band that they will fly like a led zeppelin actualy wished them well.
@CrazyCatZe erstens nennt sich sowas liftbody und zweitens gibbet nen flieger der genauso aus sieht. ist unter den nmane flying flapjack zu finden.
@HESOYAM its actualy free to use.
+1um es mit den worten des großen concrafters zu sagen: ich sterbe.
nice plane but the name is wrong: the plane was called ho IX by construction. the production model was designated go 229.
uhm are the wheels on her heels part of the body or the suit?
@Jdr9595 this is actualy common knowledge in plane building but anyhow nice looking plane after all.
this build form is called canard.
+1this plane would be a nice thing at my experimental seaplane challenge (because i basicaly want canards with retractable floats). but yeah looks nice.
@OtterOfToast ok.
what did CIV mean?
@stig27 thanks. its partialy from my new challenge.
well that escalated quikly.
@Thederpingmemes the point of my experimental seaplane challenge is to build a more or less normal plane thats isnt a seaplane at all and fitting it with retractable swimmers so that it can land on water.
5/5 for lading performance. 5/5 for fligth performance/duty oerformance. 5/5 for the use of the limitations (its a bit wobbly but stable like a boss). collected points 15/15.
@Thederpingmemes ah thats explains a lot but with the piston on it doest it look like a try on my challenge. @Apfelsaft i am german to.
this looks more than promissing. i will test it and then you get the rating.
@Apfelsaft where comes your name from and did you have an idea what @Thederpigmemes want this part for? it looks like a retractable float and i have a challenge up that asks for normal planes that are fittet with such things and i find it suspicious that this part was uploaded after my challenge.
@stig27 jupp bith can be used the only two rules are realy that you have to build a plane that isnt a seaplane and that it needs retractable floats to land on water. you can even build a dornier 335 (its one of the planes that get greenlight automatcaly if they get the floats on).
sorry the construction looks indeed like one that isnt able to land on water without swimemrs but they must be retractable.
i test it. it looks promissing but im not sure if it fits the rule of retractable floats.
four planes but only one is your own work. why?
@doge it doesnt fit the bill because it isnt using retractable swimmers but i think a but overhauling and it will be a perfect participant.
@doge thanks man i had some trouble in my first challenge because the only plane that was a succesor wanst fitting the challenge and all of the winners didn build a succesor so that i did think about a way to overlook all of the planes that fit the bill but arent succesors at the same time.
@doge i can do it yes but i am not sure how to tell the rules even with the fact in mind that the rules only forbid classic seaplane designs like flying boats.
@doge maybe building something for the challenge? or spotligting it. here is a link if you want to see what i ment:link to the challenge.

@SledDriver i overhauled the description a bit but i am not shure if i can change the thumbnail afterwards.
@kyuSha hab ich hier gemacht. der ugly basket link sit extra dafür eingerichtet worden.
@SledDriver did you have a idea how i should formulate some parts of the description? oh and i didn know any try for a waterplane that is good for a thumbnail in the challenge. no one build such a craft even in real life.
@SledDriver my english is bad i know.
@SledDriver i had that idea because my first challenge (a the sky crawlers challenge that went that went close to unnoticed) didnt get anny succesor planes (the winner wasnt even aware of the challenge until i asked if he wants to put his sanka into the run) and so i had the idea to make a collectors post so that i have an aesier time to get the control about nun sucessor uploads by seperating them for the rest of the comments.
the best known cat besides toothless.
@SledDriver by the way: what did you think about my idea to use a special hidden upload to collect all non sucessor paritcipant planes?
@SledDriver basicaly yes and and at best constructions that arent normal for such planes like your normal b747 or a me262 (both arent able to land on water without expendable floats because of their engine placement).
look down on the battlefield! is this a slug? is this a tortoise? no! it a freakin slowmoving battletank!
@Sleddriver i think you will like it.
@Nef6980 i hope you will like it (i even would accept it if you made your sanka into a seaplane that follows the rules only for the sake of fun).
@kyuSha was denkst du über die idee einen sammelkomentar für flugzeuge die keine successors sind zu haben?
