@Superdude The props are not built, they are already in the Beta. To get the Beta: First join the beta group here. (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/simpleplanes-beta) Then after getting approved, you can apply to become a tester here. (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes) Note: It may take a few hours before the play store updates.
@SIssacson Yeah, you sadly can't colour one fuselage piece different colours. You can try using more pieces or just keeping the fuselage one colour, and maybe another colour for the wings and so on. I recommend looking at other peoples aircraft. (Some may be painted in advanced ways with xml hacking) If you don't know how to paint an individual part: Click the paintbrush icon (pretty obvious), click a colour and then click the part on the plane you want coloured. Some parts support different colours. Use the "Target" setting to colour such parts. This tutorial is very helpful for getting started with building aircraft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaSnJxrwyYw
@Delphinus or edit the xml file. It is now a successor to the right plane. You might have noticed that your rating disappeared, that's because this is a new upload.
Umm, I made some plane and when it was finished it turned out to be 380 parts ... It works great on all settings set on low ... Do you think you could make an exception?
@Awesomenerd I was using high physics. But the most important thing is that the gear retracts into the fuselage, so this works fine, just looks a bit odd.
@Awesomenerd I had that setting originally, but the reason why I changed was because the plane would often explode when retracting or extending the gear.
Nice plane. And the gear overspending bug is apparent so it wasn't anything with my design.
@JacobHardy64 I have made a video demonstrating the problem too:https://youtu.be/4qurZinaa4s (This also shows the protruding gear issue)

We really need another VTOL slider!
@Authros Or have the trim tabs on VTOL + AG2 and propeller pitch to VTOL + AG1
Great plane. Set it to manual pitch and cruised at >500 mph. The only thing it needs now is trim tabs.

Make the attachment point farther back on the wing to remove the gaps
Could someone make a tutorial in using variable pitch. (A guide for propeller customization would be nice too)
Pro tip: give your planes a paint job, they become so much more attractive then!
@SeriousFlipper4 @carter2 The beta became available to all platforms yesterday, you just have to sign up for it. (check the subreddit)
This is great for secret missions to other islands
I look forward to that.
Too bad this ended right before the beta became available!
-1 star for the lack of fuel +2 stars because I could glide in and land at 50 mph
Do a new one with a different kind of plane
Wow! 4 downloads and 4 5 star ratings! Thanks guys! @KingDeadshot @SeriousFlipper4 @PlanesOfOld @LordofLego
@SeriousFlipper4 I googled it, and now I really look forward to it x)
@KingDeadshot Flite test got the idea from a real plane. (That failed miserably)
@SeriousFlipper4 Yeah!
@LjSpike Well it's stable for me up to 50%
@LjSpike The only explanation I can think of is that the ios version is slightly different, because I could take off at 45% with all physics settings
@AtomicGaming what do you mean?
Cool challenge, I hope you will like my entry!
I see that you went with my fix ;)
@Delphinus thanks
@Delphinus I have checked with Rohan and he said that he could make an exception for this plane
@Delphinus or edit the xml file. It is now a successor to the right plane. You might have noticed that your rating disappeared, that's because this is a new upload.
@Delphinus it was meant for this challenge, the upload had issues and wasn't a successor to the challenge.

Cool paint scheme
Congrats, man! (better late than never :p)
@Hypnoticchicken The CoM is far behind the CoL.
Do you know how to mod?

Awesome!
@WalrusAircraft @Authros Thanks!!
@JacobHardy64 It's okay ;)
@planelover400 I figured you would like this ;)
I haven't tested it yet ... But just the looks on this one deserves 5 stars!
@A5mod3us I used normal wings to make it lighter. When on high settings it doesn't wobble at all for me.
@Nightraider How are you flying the plane?
@JacobHardy64 Haha x)
Cool! But why is there no pictures of the plane?
@JacobHardy64 If the motor had been pointing straight up, the takeoff speed would've been 0, but the stall speed would still be 70 ;)
@Viper28 Be more gentle when pitching down. This plane wants to pitch down all by itself, so you should not even need to pitch down that much.
For the idea
@BaconAndEggs96 Yeah, I looked up his profile and found the source of his behavior
Reaaaaally slooooooow
