I think I'm gonna try this one. Looks pretty interesting.

[Tuxklok]

I got an idea for this one...if I can get my main PC back in some kind of working fashion any time soon.

cheers

Am I wrong or those wings were shaking? Anyway, interesting challenge. Is it better to use a heavier plane or it doesn't matter?

[Oscar]

You were right, the 744 has wingflex Heavier planes might actually even make it easier to take off in strong winds. I mean; taking off a C172p in 40kts winds will certainly give you more chance to win than taking off an A380 in 40kts winds.

[redneck]

A c172P cannot even stay grounded in 40 kts of wind. Already tried that one with my own personal stunt challenge: manual ILS with extremely poor visibility with an extreme crosswind. I made it, but shortly after touchdown, the plane was blown away like a kite.

[Oscar]

Hehe erm, well maybe 40 kts is a bit much for a C172p then.. 35?

[redneck]

That works.

If processing, try again later.
Enjoy!

Seems to me that a heavier plane, having more momentum, would be less affected by turbulence.

Cool video redneck, the first attempt convinced me that if I'm gonna try this I'll use a heavier plane.

[redneck]

LOL. Thanks. Trust me, the second attempt was no cake walk, either.

[redneck]

So... are we like not done with this one? Where are everyone else's submissions?

[Oscar]

There were 3 more submissions on YouTube as video responses. I'm trying to reach Zach to talk about the results

[Oscar]

Not so much progress on this lately, I know. Zach hasn't replied to the message I sent him (or didn't see it?) and I also have not been able to work on this much. The winner announcement video will be here coming Friday.
