Hello everyone, Here is the Topic that I will use for the [TC15] contest. I will be making a remake of the LEGO 10024 Red Baron. For now I have made a prototype of the bottom wings : They are almost as wide as the LEGO model. I have also made a prototype for the moving part of the wings ( I don't know the exact name of these...) I will probably do the 6 cylinder engine next.

Well, here I go. This is both my first time entering a TC, and my first published Technic MOC. In no way am I expecting to win, but I'm interested to see how the competition will push me to come up with a decent MOC for once! I'm also a University student, so A) I'm only using parts already in my collection, B) I won't be able to build with physical bricks until I get home in a couple of weeks, and C) Any building I do at the moment is technically procrastination. I've chosen the wrong time to enter a competition, but I'm having a go anyway. With that out of the way, here's the first LDD sketch of my idea: a small-scale, largely-freelance Heliplane. It started out as a sketch to see if I could come with anything, and ended up looking better than I expected for a first draft. The only panels I own matching pairs of are from the 9393 tractor set, so that's what I'm using. So far the functions are rotating the engines upwards using the gear at the back, opening the tailgate and (clearly) spinning the propellers. Coming back and looking at it again, pretty much everything needs to be improved! I think the first thing is that the engines and props need to be larger. Then the tail needs cleaning up from it's current placeholder state, and I've entirely neglected the landing gear... There's probably many more glaring omissions from the view of aero engineers, so I'm interested to hear what you have to say.
