Dang, saw the thread title and was going to say wheels but you beat me. Though you might want some lights and or emergency boosters so you can get some mad air time. Like in Armageddon.

Well that was interesting.

Might put some up tomorrow, just gotta take some screenies and try and make some descriptions as good as yours.

Love your VTOL craft, so small and efficient. When you made your first VTOL, the Herbie I think it was, led to me making some of my own and boy did I make a few. I know what you went through and I know these craft require quite a lot of trial and error to make something that operates smoothly. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Thanks, will look into it. Never really recorded stuff but even with my horrid upload speed I find It much easier to just make a video rather than deal with innumerous screenshots.

Worth it. I can't yet into editing so you might wanna skip a bit of the flight. I could upload the other video of the craft actually making it through, a MUCH smaller craft, but I thought that this would be a better allotment of my very limited upload bandwidth. Mate. On a side note bandicam is baaad, does anyone know what else I could use to record?

It's funny, Your "bee" craft is nothing like mine . Well done though, cargo ssto are troublesome ladies to make even on good days .

Was just watching topgun too! but no buzzing.... only, Rumbling the tower.. not that close but I hit the thing more times than one lol so I'll just leave it at that. Podding the tower.. (ignore the parachutes, forgot to take them off). And preparing to invade the tower.. Allthough these events weren't particulary fast, each one would still have seen their fair share of spilt beverages and stained pants. Would put screens of landing etc, but my post is aleady hugemungus.

Wish this game had multiplayer, Vtol races in the canyons! Very nice design, simple yet complex.

Thanks .

Lol good idea . shame I dunno how lol.

Noice mate. Wish I knew how to space!

Good evening fellow make things and cause them to explode enthusiasts. Today, well yesterday, I have made my own version of the Podracer. With the introduction of the new flight control stabilizers, it is very stable, yet, crazy to fly, making it the perfect choice to procrastinate in!. There are two versions of the podracer, being similar but fly quite differently. They also have the ability to take-off and land like a normal sapce plane.. sort of. Enough with the text, heres some pictures. Both the short and long versions. Speed test. Note though at sea level it floats around at about 126 m/s, rear parachute can be removed for another engine but won't have as good a fuel economy. Sorry about the size, can't read text otherwise. Forgot to retract the ladder . Full album can be found here: http://vongobble.imgur.com/ Craft files http://www./view/e5thz5q829jl0on/Podracer_long.craft http://www./view/3uxn1mz78810cmf/Podracer_short.craft Tips on flying Fly with the asas ON. Take-off with it Off. except the shorter one, take-off with asas on. Due to high manuverability, without new asas flight stabilizer, the craft is somewhat more difficult to control but still flyable. Don't turn too hard or you will become one with the flipping.Can be corrected with asas on but hope you're not too close to the ground. Has panic stage and moar boosters. Also optional RCS. Anyways have fun and if I could into space I'd love to podrace on laythe. Maybe someone else could try:wink:...

Yeah, allthough I shoulda read the first post better, I didn't notice it said to use the mod panels. >.<. oh well lol.

Tried =\, Once they get too big they become brick like with their manuverability. Well, atleast they look pretty decent for stock. Early model; Next model; latest model; (missing a few panels and the antennae aren't extended) Sorry about the ENORMOUS pictures. Only have 4 posts when I made this one.

Here's a boat that was supposed to be a space craft but I couldnt get it into orbit due to balance problems... found out it floats really well crash landing it. (dunno what happened to the sky:confused: ) And here's one of my space craft that works.

Allthough mine doesnt lag much and I can fly my 350~ part plane around @ 60fps, I will tell you now, once you're past the 800 part mark.. it becomes impossible for the auto to fly the ship. And I really wanna get this baby into space..

Better luck next time...

Hey guys, forum noob here, I have something that you might be interested in.... Over the versions of kerbal I have allways made a heavy bomber and rebuilt it and tweaked it so that it can continue to fly over the updates. I call this particular line of bombers the dinkler (i dunno lol), and although its top speed is only at most 200m/s, and the engines are just normal jet engines, It does have its perks. That's 18*2.9 worth of bombs...52.2 tonnes. Thats roughly the weight of the plane. <a href="http://imgur.com/v1iNn"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/v1iNn.jpg" title="Hosted by imgur.com" alt="" /></a> And well... that payload is 64 tonnes. I even had to dodgey up the landing gear to accomodate the "bomb". The wings are messy, I know but once you build it 6 times you get bored building it pretty fast. When the plane has little or no payload it is very agile.(also do note that the plane is very sluggish at max payload.) Here's a kerbal for size. Sorry about the huge pictures, I cannot into forum as this is my second post. Here are the craft files. [ATTACH]34442[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]34443[/ATTACH]

Hey saw your thread.. and I though I might share this ship i made a few days ago... I know its not really anything like the Frigate but I could make it more triangular and clean it up a bit, but that'll have to wait untill I can be bothered ...... also flies like a brick. Its also missing a few panels that I didnt put on the back cos I was fiddling with the guts.
