@Pakdaaircraftindustries Oh, thank you! I really appreciate it!
.
Can I ask you a question too? What exactly qualifies as a mobile-friendly craft? I want to understand the limit, is it based on the number of parts or something else?
@Pakdaaircraftindustries Oh, do you mean the Deadrise angle? Like the V shaped hull 'cause this plane has a lot of curvature 😭😭
.
If that's what you're referring to, I built it using two separate blocks (one per side) and angled them at around 30 degrees to form the V shape. (I didn’t research it deeply, but shallow angles = better for calm/shallow seas, while steeper angles handle rough seas better.) I only build one side of the hull first. Once that side is fully finished and aligned, I mirror it to create the other side.
.
It's tricky to keep everything straight, since you have to compensate using the run and rise values. I mostly avoided changing the height or width value of the tank except where curvature was needed (like the front), and relied mainly on fuselage slicing and fine Rise/Run adjustments.
.
It took a lot of trial and error to get it right, definitely a patience test lol
@B1 hey, you said that the builds MUST be uploaded after this challenge. But then you said this The deadline for all submissions will be January 15, 2026, at 11:59PM EST. Any late submissions will not be accepted.
.
Can you make that clear for me 'cause
I'm so confused. I want to ask what makes a submission late, is it 1-2 days after the challenge ended?
