Planning for Odd Spaceplane Challenge

[Yuka]

Hi everyone,

With the release of v1.0 I plan on running a challenge that has players recreate odd aircraft designs from history. There will be a selection of aircraft that I provide a photo of and a brief description. The players are tasked with recreating each aircraft in KSP as closely as possible and then attempting to get each design to fly. They may attempt as many designs replicas as they want.

I need a points system for this. I'm not sure how to rate how closely each entry is to the intended original design. Maybe a poll of 1-10 of some sort and open the poll to every other entrant and then take the percentages and apply a point value based on the percentages?

What about a points system for flight? Did it fly? How "well" did it fly? That sort of thing.

While these designs were not intended for spaceflight, I'd like to award points for pushing the envelope of each design and actually achieving space flight.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I actually have a whole truckload of such designs that are based of WWII designs, including the Fi 156, He 177, Bf 110, Do 217, E13A1 and H6K4. Obviously all are still beta planes, so ill probably rebuild them from scratch and then submit them.
