Going to have to say, congratulations on 50k. also love the design. Was concerned about the speed, but it actually can do a decent job in a dogfight. Definitely can take a few more hits than most designs.
@Average3323 I changed the weight of the fuselage slightly until the Center of mass lined up with the center of lift and thrust markers along the central axis. Built the plane around the center cockpit then shifted the cockpit over when I was finished designing the plane
@salvador3031 I think it's a fundamental trade off. the more lift you get the slower your max speed due to wing span causing more drag, the more max speed you have the lower your lift so you might not have a shallow enough glide slope to hit every ring.
@FullFruntall KK-FF-Zipeee
Flies amazingly fast, very difficult to land on water with it though.
@Baldovino GA - 19 Ruby
Very fun to fly, Like the lines on it very much.
GA - 20 Diamond
Was shocked as to how easily this thing recovered from a flat spin.
@Samwise Leapfrog
Fun little plane. I like it.
I think I'm going to go with the ruby though, has amazing maneuverability and looks great to boot.
@BNKAB no, just used eyeballs and nudging
@hopotumon
@Kerbango
@Stingray
you are winners
Sorry, have some real life stuff going on. Will judge this weekend
@Kerbango nah, just seeing if I can beat the ww2 challenge with the planes if they have guns.

@Kerbango Just a little bit lol
@Colonel1J2R3Wolf yeah but it has a nice concept going for it
I like how it handles, but decided to take a couple of tweaks to it, fixed the front landing gear, (it;s offset a bit)
Definitely like how it handles, very nimble, tight turns. and it does wonderful in the WWII Dogfight. Also like the very simple profile of the plane
@BoeyingOfficial https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1iRYfs/Pusher-Aircraft-Challenge-Ends-Dec-31st
You should definitely enter the pusher challenge
Have you considered entering the pusher challenge?
@Type2volkswagen updated, good catch
@ZimboGamer What do you mean?
@DogePlayzTV Just another strange plane, I like to make pusher based aircraft
Currently working on another bizarre pusher based airplane for the challenge
@daygus11 Thank you
Put up a couple planes for the challenge
@Average3323 Still veers a bit on take off.

@Average3323 not a bad idea, I'll mess with it a bit
@tinytester To be honest I just turned my joystick around.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/k8zxQw/Apoapsis fixed, and improved, and beats oceanview speed way in 1:33 (with minimal fuel)
yes, yes I can

@TheMasterSoldier Yeah kind of why I don't like you. The points are rather pointless anyway. There really is no tangible reward for them.
@Matt7709 90-100 gallons. I know how the sliders are a bit imprecise
I have a few planes like that.
@FlyingPancake1 Glad to have you aboard
No more than 3500
I am in.

@TheColonel beat by .4 barely got to the finish line with mine.

@Baldovino Earth.
Ok it's been difficult not flying these until the time for judging. Been testing them out and I think I'll have the decision soon.
↑↑↓↓←→←→BA
Challenge still open
Loving what people have come up with so far
@MrVaultech Yes. I don't have a problem with that
@Average3323 was seeing if I could build a seaplane using a minimalist approach also tweaking it to use an even less powerful engine.
@Average3323 I see what you did there
"non modded" would be simpler
I'll keep the challenge open for a week.
@Baldovino
Apologies it is not. I like the design though.
@dsr1aviation Any thoughts?
@Average3323 Took forever to get rid of the wobbly. The connections didn't want to go easily
really would like to have this too.
@Droslash I've just been obsessed with pusher designs lately, used to play a good amount of crimson skies back in the day.
Flies surprisingly well. Good work
@Droslash Gave it a shot, thanks for the tip
