The stock Stearwing A300. The first plane I successfully landed, so I have a soft spot for it. But let's be honest, it is not the most exciting aircraft out there. So, in the spirit of innovation, here is the challenge: Take the stock Stearwing and customize it. Make it faster, slicker, sillier, spaceworthy, submersible...The finished product does not need to be an aircraft. Rules: 1. You may change and/or remove engines and landing gear if you wish. 2. You must not remove any other parts, however, you can move parts around, and add as many additional parts as you like. 3. No restrictions on Mods (though please indicate what you have used). Of course, all stock creativity is greatly appreciated and wins kudos. 4. Anything not explicitly forbidden by the above rules is not only allowed, but encouraged. 5. Please include photos and/or video and brag unashamedly about why your modification is simply the best, fastest, coolest, weirdest. I've got to learn Adobe Illustrator for work (last used it years ago and have forgotten everything), so I will use that as an excuse to make some badges. Categories TBD based on what people come up with, though probably one in each category for stock and modded. The example below is just a basic three-minute alteration. I'm working on something better and much farther outside the box. But you get the idea... Or this, which I created on the fly when the Mission Builder came out. Again, this is still pretty basic. You can tell by the engine placement that quality control was pretty lax on the assembly line that day. or this awesome video I found:

Remember that interesting stock spaceplane with the engine staging design, forward swept wings and unique two-class passenger accommodation system? Sadly it was removed from the game in 1.1.0 being unable to make orbit without mods. Edit - links to original craft file here https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3byc0jlofmv5dc/Stearwing D45.craft?dl=0 and here http://www.antiwindowscatalog.com/media/ksp/StearwingD45.craft.zip thanks @Gordon Fecyk and @swjr-swis So, has anyone tried to fix up this design? What can it do, and how close to the original appearance were you able to keep? This is what I came up with. https://kerbalx.com/AeroGav/Stearwing-D45N Economy class passengers now benefit from cabin lighting, an RTG based heating system, and a reaction wheel powered seat vibro-massage function to help ward off DVT. However, we've had to start charging for Pretzels. I'm starting to see a pattern with my designs. Most people fix stuff with "moar boosters". With me it seems to be a case of "moar nukes, moar wings, moar cones!" Despite the forward swept wings, it looks not much like the original i'm afraid. Look at all that fuel though, on nuke engines this thing can go places..

Hey guys! I have found out how to put the stearwing d45 in ksp 1.1.2 after it was accedentally deleted at Squad. All you have to do is go to this link- https://kerbalx.com/Concodroid/Stearwing-D45 alternativley, you can go to the craft file in your ksp 1.0.5 and below, copy that, and replace a stock craft you don'tlike. you have to change the ksp from (whatever your version was) to (whatever version you want it to be, be 1.1.0, 1.1.1, or 1.1.2. This is not recommened, though. The flames are from Destruction FX, i know that was discontinued, but I found a person that updated it. I will upload it to Spacedock soon, watch out for it. Anyone want me to upload & update another old craft, let me know. I'll try to do it. Concodroid industries not responsible for any ellipsy breakouts, or any seizures related to the game glitching out.
