Sorry for taking some time to judging this. As I want to be accurate and respect to all your great works. I will post the result this week or as soon as I finish.
Levitator 1.0 is an experimental aircraft designed and developed by Win's Wings Inc. in New York, first flight on March 2nd, 2024. It uses ONLY Jet propulsion with VTOL nozzles and avoids using wings and stabilizers, which is the primary purpose of this experiment.
.
Hello, Test pilots; before you fly this, watch this video carefully to get an idea of controls. There are no wings/control surfaces as defined by the challenge. So, every move depends on the jets/VTOL nozzles.
Video on Autogyro landing and takeoff- and how it different from a helicopter. Autogyro got main rotor with zero engine power, but act like an airplane wings.
@Monarchii yes, most of the players stay away from the heli and VTOLs, and without the gyro, it is very hard - I have made my test on heli, gyros and a VTOL. I love all of them
@Fancygun i am on my way to office. I have to work on the cockpit detail when I get back from work. I will post it once I finish. May be 11-12 pm New York time
You are welcome to post. I will give an upvote and may be a spotlight if you make a decent one. (You will just miss the prize selection process)
@BYardley @Scarlettponycute
@Fancygun I don't take too long, because, if I take too long on a project, I lose my interest and as a result, that project never shows up. I have 4-5 projects that end up in a similar faith. Let's say a week. I build mostly under 300 parts. mostly around 100-120
@Zaineman thanks buddy
Hello Friends,

@planefan789 Lol, I have proof with my video, also as a TUTORIAL
@TheAviator77 I could say it look like a helicopter...with a missing rotator - lol

@Zaineman @MrCOPTY
No wings, No Rotors, Pure VTOL helicopter -

What does OP means?

@Fancygun go to ‘’airplanes’’ and hit the ‘’search’’. Then find ‘’how to make a challenge’’. Same as ‘’how to add photos’’. I am not a good teacher
@TheAviator77 they were trying to make money after WW2
@Monarchii Check out my easy hack on VTOLs - I did a tutorial for that

NOW POSTED! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/537cnc/Flying-Car-116
@Rework oh my friend, you survive (Thanks!)
It may look "ordinary", but I made it, especially for gameplay and VR experience, so download and save it and have fun.
Hi Pilots, Don't take too long on the runway, Just take off once you start the engine!
@MAPA Thanks!
@Fancygun Have Fun
Have you build the tutorial plane. Start from that simplest one. That’s how I started. Then slowly grow
@Zaineman of course
Thanks for joining
I always welcome anyone who enter the challenge, no matter it was over. I will go through it. Although you can’t win a prize, I will upvote
@Fancygun Go sleep. I am still at my job. 3 hours to reach my home. and I got to build the interior
wonderful
@Fancygun In my profile page
@FancyGun
@Fancygun yes, i am
@Fancygun i am on my way to office. I have to work on the cockpit detail when I get back from work. I will post it once I finish. May be 11-12 pm New York time
@Fancygun May be
@EnglishGarden I will make ot to fly around 270 mph, which will be realistic. Currently it is a bit faster.
Beautiful concept. But the props must be ditching in the water.
@FancyGun have fun soon
The Convair 116, a1946 flying car concept.
There is 2 separate engines, of course - as it’ was a flying car.
- Driving on ground AG2,
- and Flying AG3
Comment T for tag
@Dragoranos thanks for your try
@QuesoAirlines I remember your nice plane in one of the challenges. Welcome.
@Fancygun Okay then, I will do 116 (with the smaller car) That car was not a good presentation though
@Fancygun I am in New York, my time is 14:16
@TheGliderGuy I am interested in making a power glider HBBrditschkaHB_23/2400 for your glider challenge. do you allow powered ones?
sorry, for some reason, I missed spotlighting this during the challenge
@Fancygun I will jump on 118 tonight (hopefully if I am in the mood) since I am at work (lunch time) now
Are you falling behind the deadline?

@Fancygun Yes, I will try, at least the Model 118
@Fancygun my pleasure. I love to make people happy (if I can)
@Fancygun Thanks, I will definitely build one, may be with your name on it
@ThomasRoderick I will build a plane with your name on it. You name it
