@Tully2001 Well some lift may help, but I'm not sure about the wing loading, the wing looks small compared to the fuselage. And it was made for spaceflight right? There's no air in space so wings doesn't matter apparently.
@SteadfastContracting I know. Then after that, around 5 AM we were told to exercise until we got tired, then we had breakfast. I didn't even take a bath, it was too cold XD
@SteadfastContracting Well I was SUPPOSED to get up at 7 AM, then suddenly we were told to get up at 2 AM, FIVE HOURS earlier. The camp was so dark, and the challenge is, only one flashlight per team :)
I remember going back from the school camp before a holiday... the camp only lasted a day, but it was absolutely exhausting. I didn't get any sleep (actually I did, but only for 2 hours), and in about 2 AM midnight we were told to go out and walk around in the camp area. Of course, the teachers were pranking us along the way, such as giving us random quizzes and stuff. I'll never forget it XD
First of all, you put too much dead weight in your plane. The weight is far above normal weight for fighters.
Second, you haven't placed any inlets.
Third, your wing loading is too high. Try reducing some weight and make the wings bigger.
I can make an improved version of your plane if you want.
Some tips :
Lower your wing loading by making your wings bigger. Make bigger control surfaces for the pitch, but not too big as they will stall and make your plane wobble.
Also, try to place the Centre of Mass (red circle) near the Centre of Lift (blue circle). The centre of lift can be moved by changing the shape of your wings, The centre of mass can be moved by increasing or decreasing the weight on your plane.
Try making your plane lighter, don't put too many fuselage or engines.
@Stingray Well the windows version has the gear icon for modifying parts, but this isn't allowed for this challenge :) Not sure about iOS or Android, though.
Sorry, but I think you need to make another entry. Your plane does not fly, it stalls upon takeoff because the Centre of mass is behind the centre of lift.
@CleverchesyTM No problem!
@SteadfastContracting Yea...I typed so fast that I made so many typos lol

@Tully2001 Well the platinum chain is broken....
Stable, pretty fast, and good design. The downside is that the pitch is kinda slow. You can improve this by adding more wings.
@Tully2001 But the space shuttle's empty weight is 172,000 lb (78,000 kg) according to Wikipedia....
@SteadfastContracting lol true. I do this sometimes XD
@SteadfastContracting Ok.
@SteadfastContracting Yep. We stayed up all night so it felt longer :)
@SteadfastContracting Oh yea... that one. This one is even better!
@SteadfastContracting Of course! It felt like 3 days, even though it was 1 day XD
Awesome...and heavy!
Hey I remember this plane!
@KingDeadshot Yep..... when I got an overweight luggage fee, I said :
"If I pay, will it make my luggage lighter?"
@KingDeadshot @SteadfastContracting lol at least the camp was only for 24 hours, but we did get some rest after every event.
@SteadfastContracting I know. Then after that, around 5 AM we were told to exercise until we got tired, then we had breakfast. I didn't even take a bath, it was too cold XD

Thanks @SteadfastContracting
@CleverchesyTM Here you go
@steynschipper Ok
Now THAT'S some flying skillz!
Pretty fast, very stable, but barely turns.
@EpicFirebird Both are fine.
First of all, you put too much dead weight in your plane. The weight is far above normal weight for fighters.
Second, you haven't placed any inlets.
Third, your wing loading is too high. Try reducing some weight and make the wings bigger.

@Tully2001 Anything is OK, just use stock parts with default configuration.
@Stingray hmm ok. Sorry for the confusion, but this is my first challenge, so...

@Stingray That's the point of this challenge. Making an entry is perfectly fine. Who knows, you might just win!
I agree to no.9. The grey platform has been there since the classic SP. Maybe make it resizable, more colours, and even completely invisible.
@Garretto3 I see... every plane is tested with high physics. Sorry about that.
You're using a modded cockpit, which has no weight. Please make another entry. Did you read the rules? Sub-assemblies are not allowed.
Stability and speed are good, but it doesn't fly for a long time.....
Stability is OK, speed is good, but it lacks fuel. It can only fly for about 1 minute.
@esms1999 Ok
@SHCow Activation groups are allowed.
@Stingray Well the windows version has the gear icon for modifying parts, but this isn't allowed for this challenge :) Not sure about iOS or Android, though.
Unfortunately it likes to stall when taking off. Maybe make another entry?
@UnknownNate Well if you can make a car, it's fine! But no modifying parts :)
A bit hard to control in low speeds, but overall not bad!
Sorry, but I think you need to make another entry. Your plane does not fly, it stalls upon takeoff because the Centre of mass is behind the centre of lift.
@UnknownNate That's fine, as long as it flies.
@Bronzewing Nope. Did you read the rules?
@Bronzewing The primary wing part already has some fuel in it. You may use part nudge.
@Garretto3 Ok. Any platform is allowed. Good luck!
@Dalton02 Are you going to enter?
I don't use twitter :P
@ronyseptian17 Banyak banget :)
Really stable, good for a casual flight :)
@BagusAnugrah Di sini banyak orang Indonesia, ada saya, @dzulfikar, @ronyseptian17, dan beberapa lagi.
