Clarification, sorry. My airborne landers can evade Snowstone missiles, but only at low altitude. You could drive any of your car models from Avalance Runway. Easy. But to climb Blue Glacier mountain or Loopy Loop snow cruising is more challenging. Maybe impossible. I've tried both with mixed success. Using "discovered locations" is a pre-requisite. .@SpiritusRaptor
FYI @JacobHardy64 in AI dogfight mode, even one of my heavily-armed missile fighters (like the ones that circle Snowstone Island) could not touch this. If you can shoot it down, go ahead and try!
@JacobHardy64 Just downloaded this entry. Yaw is normal. FRONT canards have inverted pitch. I like your feed b back comments, please re-download and test in SP SIM. What am I missing here?
@JacobHardy64 Dunno exactly: not all tournament rules are posted. Posted rules, max parts 100, stock fuel, stock engines, dimensions in meters allow a model twice this size. Size is arbitrary to me, I guess, but performance cannot be comprised IMHO.
Thx! Why? Had to address and fix aerodynamic and structure strength flaws that were in "Snow Copter." Larger wings allow flight + landing with heli-rotors powered off. "Dark Copter" has weapons just for fun; even so this build takes off and lands on Snowstone sovereign snow and runways. Next version will have skids, a water/land/snow fun build. @SteadfastContracting
Fictious but well-built. The "parts menu" has changed so much in 3 months, I feel other builders could use such a simple approach to upgrade their F80s, F86s, Mig15s, etc, but that is just my humble opinion.
Base plane is okay. Floats need redesign. I tried minor tweaks, but water takeoff/landings are tough on SP. Giving you an upvote for trying a difficult build.
@General360 @Djbanana @Enderdragon907 FYI, for me this mobile friendly model is fairly mild. Surprised anyone tried to test it; it works better than other mobile-based experiments. The first time I used skids was 7 months ago, on a mobile-build https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/PaigJS/S-E-A-L-Aircraft-Mach-5
@Enderdragon907 Tested on iPad and iPhone 5S. Yes, works, but mind the max 1200 mph speed on the iPad, for this extreme model. The other models I mentioned slower yet mobile friendly as well. Just a lot slower, with different missions: incomplete not yet posted.
Thanks for the alternative, but as @BoxGlow mentions, updates are life-or-death crucial for some of us, @joeysellers And on that topic, Steam provided marginal benefit to the majority of SP users. Users on OSX usually delete Steam.
Note to @General360 @Djbanana @Enderdragon907 - This is the extreme-case fighter Copter WITH SKIDS. My yet to be posted trial versions float, launch from sea or hardened runways. A lot slower, though, not for Snowstone. Thanks for your interest; stay tuned.
The Simpleplanes App was just pushed out to my Amazon Device by the regular Amazon Store. Appears to have the same functionality/or lack of/ as my iOS version. (Many islands missing.) Thanks for expanded info on this alternative store.
Note to Tournament Rules: I devised a stock plane that survives over Snowball, including landing at the Yeti Airport. This one does not attempt fly through those silly Sky Cup hoops on Wright Isle courses -- (those are for slower blade designs.)
Posting your free-fall bombs in 5 minutes. "Orbit View" seems the only real option. @Rohan
OK @Rohan
OK will give a try on one or more of my supersonic platforms, @Rohan Kim Jong Un riding into battle. If I post it, you'll be tagged.

No. Just an idea, from humble mobile users like me. AI also works on an iPad Pro mobile plarform. @SpiritusRaptor
Thanks for your upvote! @DJbanana
Nobody is perfect, alas.... @SpiritusRaptor
SR: challenge, either I will build an ice/rock/snow crawler that roams Snowstone, or you could.

@AndrewGarrison Simple is more, thanks!
@WalrusManufacturingCO Thx!
Thanks, @Jacobhardy64 This is my 2nd entry, a better and simpler build. From my ancient Kindle platform.
This is a slightly better stock plane for the Unlimited Category (my first submission was just for fun.)
Thank you, @PlanesAndThings
@WalrusManufacturingCO How many Walruses are out there (mammals)? No need to answer.
Thank you, @WalrusManufacturingCO
Thank you, @Djbanana
Thank you, @SteadfastContracting
Thank you, @DJbanana
Tested, a OK fast stock build! Ugly.
@flyingsteve88 Thx! The flaws in performance, here, are corrected in "Dark Copter", FYI
Your comment. I needed to simply descirbe what was new on this build (my bad). @SteadfastContracting
Love it! Maybe you are a secret Boeing designer.....
Your feedback helped! I just updated the model's description. @SteadfastContracting
Thank you @Djbanana This is a vastly improved VTOL build, glad you like it!

Thx you are brave to fly this one, @SteadfastContracting
Thank yiu! @NathanMikeska
Thx, all who have tested a speedster that contains zero XML. Q: what could a builder do with using XML fuel+Engines? Remains to be measured, I guess.
Thanks @Xogo

Already did, on Apple Store. The Google redirect just is not too helpful to SP users.
