    (except for the 4 small engines)

    Forgot to mention this, OP said only a maximum of 3 engines fully clipped into each other (i.e that it seems like 1) is allowed, with a reasonable excuse. Which means, if you've built something on @Servo's level (i.e exploiting fairings or using structural panels and such to build the fuselage based on a real-life aircraft), that should be allowed. If it's and original design, I'm not gonna allow that, but maybe @HolidayTheLeek allow it.

    Basically to be safe, don't clip the parts that you think is, well, moving. Example, the Goliath engine. You can clip the pylon deep inside the wing, but not partially or fully blocking the bypass duct or the hot stream exhaust on the engine. The same should apply to the Wheesley and every other jet engines, albeit some of them lacking any built-in pylon.

    can i submit more than one plane?

    Yes, you can. Post it however you like; two difrerent planes in one post, two identical planes (variant) in one post, or two different planes in two different posts; it's how you'd like to post it.

    To the judges,

    A query has popped up in the Kerbal minds of the mediocre engineers and scientists, which is the question of the legality of part clipping 4 sets of wings together to provide one magnanimous and large wing for the Draconic Mediocrity.

    Also about Part clipping fuel tanks, SAS Modules, Batteries and Communication antennas, they asked for those too.

    In my opinion, as long as you kept part of the wings exposed (i.e not completely clipped into each other) that should be good. Take my L-50 airliner on Page 5 as an example (it has clipped wings too).

    Part-clipping for fuel tanks shouls be fine if you're doing it in the name of aesthetics, not in the name of cheating. So yes and no. Basically as long as you keep all the clipped parts exposed and you're clipping parts for aesthetics, that should be fine.

    In your case, you're making a bigger main wing using multiple clipped FAT wings. Take note however, ease of maintenance will be taken into account, and clipping parts could be bad for technicians.

    Remember, excessive clipping (e.g clipping two FAT main wings into one that it appeared to be only one instead of two) is prohihited.

    Screenshots folder?

    If you right-click on your KSP shortcut (Every Steam game installs should have a desktop shortcut), select "Open File Location".

    Then you'll get lots of folders, such as "KSP_Data", "GameData" (where all your mods reside), "saves", "Screenshots", "Thumbs" and whatnot. Click on the "Screenshots". All screenshots should be sorted from Oldest to Newest, unless you change it to let's say, File Size.

    3. For me KerbalX doesn't want to take screenshots, like when i browse the screenshots i can't see my current screenshots and even when i take one with Craftmanager. (all of this happens in KSP)

    1. Have you checked your settings and see on which key is for your screenshot?
    2. Have you tried refreshing the "Screenshots" folder?
    3. Is it even the correct KSP folder? IIRC Steam games's file directory is a mess (from my own experience of trying to run War Thunder using GPU).

    You can just use the "Screenshot Mode" (the F2 while pausing one), then take a screenshot using Steam after changing the FOV.

    Next time, please post the direct link to your image.

    Like this. Instead of copying the "Image Link", copy the "Direct Link". It has the image's format extension (e.g .png or .jpg) and it'll automatically appear as an image in your post.

    [Snip]

    1. In Desktop, you're supposed to head to your Profile on the Top Right corner of the homepage (The circle where the profile picture supposed to be). Click it, and a drop-down menu appears.
    2. Click "Images" in the drop-down menu.
    3. That brings you to all the pictures you've uploaded on Imgur. Select a picture you'd like to put in your post (yes, click it).
    4. The enlarged picture appears. See the list of links on the right of the picture? Find "Direct Link" (This is what we want), and click on the Blue "Copy" button at the end of the line.
    5. Now paste it in your post.

    Most importantly (sorry if this sounds strict), do not just leave the post, and the thread in general as it is (this is a common problem I've seen with new users). Look up your "Notifications" section (It's the Bell icon) and see if there's any important stuff coming in, such as reviews on your craft, post corrections and thread announcement (You need to follow the thread in case of the announcement). You might alsk need to tweak your notification settings so you don't necessarily get emails for; just a notification under the bell and if you turned it on, Desktop Notifications.

    Other than that, some advise for screenshots. Take a beautiful one by pressing "Esc" (Or "Escape" for Macs but I'm a Windows user so...) (yes it pauses the game), press F2 (some keyboards require you to press Fn as well) to hide the GUI, bring the camera yo wherever you want, hold Alt & scroll using the mousewheel to change the FOV. Use the lowest FOV (mousewheel down while Alt) for best results. Then take a screenshot. Reset it using "End" key.

    EDIT 2: Use KerbalX to upload your craft instead of the Steam Workshop. Why, not everyone here uses the Steam version of KSP (plot twist, I must be the unluckiest among all). Two, in the craft page (if you uploaded your own), there'll be some important details about your craft which you may need to type in manually in Steam Workshop. Three, it's made by the member of the forums (All hail @katateochi, the forum member's Odin for his KerbalX), so using a 'homegrown' product will give some support. Even @HolidayTheLeek advised us to use KerbalX to upload craft here.
