The community collective ORNITHOPTER challenge
Tapeta replied to Klapaucius's topic in Challenges & Mission ideas
I tried it on Duna, but thought luck it doesn't fly. Those servos are on its limit - I can't put more weight on them (more wing area), If I try they just go completely out of rhythm. -
About handling: It look like a fish, it fly like a fish and it handles like a cow. Like a very sick cow actually. The most important thing is to prevent it from rolling to the side. That happened at the end of my video, where it started to oscillate from side to side more and more and eventually it crashed.

The community collective ORNITHOPTER challenge
Tapeta replied to Klapaucius's topic in Challenges & Mission ideas
I was experimenting with ornithopter design before with very poor results, so I was going to move on to something else when I noticed this challenge. When I saw @neistridlar 's post I was very surprised how nice it worked, and it was eureka moment for me: yes of course use Lifting force not drag. So I created my own contraption which is heavily inspired by @neistridlar 's . I used well-tried Kerbal concept -use "moar boosters" and I placed servos on top of an alligator hinges so I can tilt them individually and experiment with it. It is still very slow and hard to control. -
Only a simple airplane which is filled with new BG robotic parts. They can produce a lot of drag and because of that I hide all of them inside of fairings.

Breaking Ground DLC aircraft challenge
Tapeta replied to Klapaucius's topic in Challenges & Mission ideas
After three days of constant tweaking and tuning I finally managed to converge to final iteration of this plane. Sweet mother of tentacles, the kraken visited me so many times (that's why I am calling this plane the Summoner). I was fighting with jumpy landing legs, my wing fell off during landing, engine mounts were doing breakdance and two ladders was able to reduce my maximum speed by one mach. My intention was to build aeroplane which is VTOL capable, can fold its tail and wings and despite of that can achieve speed 2.2 Mach without afterburner and Mach 3 with afterburner. craft -
You can have only one color of the suit light for gender. By default it is orange color. see following video by Inter's Odyssey:
