Everyone should post a picture of the "real thing" when they start designing so we can see what it looks like and how well they are replicating it.

here you go houndpup, I will not be putting rocket engine in it, it will be a puller prop configuration.

I am thinking of what plane to design, I really want to participate but I currently have no idea, probably will design a super guppy. Does every part of it need ot be master series or can it be a combination of normal and MS?

It doesn’t have to completely be Fully formed. It can be a mixture. But remember there shall be a vote at the end.

Until Flite Test makes available an EDF power pack, jet or rocket designs may use any available EDF or modify the airframe for pusher prop or prop-in-slot with no scoring penalty.

I thought they do have one......Retro rocket?

I have been meaning to greatly improve on the design of my Bristol M1c that I created back in 2022 and wondered if I could enter it into this challenge but would understand if not as I would not be starting from scratch.

Hey I was thinking if anyone wanted to contribute a prize, somebody with a laser cutter might do a FT Speedbuild kit of at the choice of the winner.....

I would… If I had one😭

Same here!

I don't have a laser cutter but do have a needle cutter that works quite well. I also have a 3d printer for parts like firewalls, control horns etc.. so could build a SBK for the winner.

Needle cut is probably fine too!
