Water Spider

SECTOR 7 SPACE LABORATORIES

Water Spider

A requested build from KerbalsAreKute on KerbalX. The request was to build a small water craft. This is a recreational craft, it handles well near 20 m/s and will flip over at 20 m/s plus when traveling on the water. Using warp adds a little more fun to the action.

@MajaeV We can't shoot video just anywhere now can we? This is the quickest transportation I could find

After watching it I realized I should have made a few turns at least . I also should have mentioned the Kerbals were pushing to pass the other craft, that was the humor in the video.

This is great!! What kind of range does she have? I propose a race to the island!

Thank you! I almost made it to the Airbase Island and Top Speed is about 28 m/s if both Kerbals miss lunch  I did not want to let the cat out of the bag but I am working on an Offshore Power Boat Racing project with V Hull and Tunnel Hull Speed Boats. If we are racing you will be going against one of them. Speed Boat K.A.K is getting near 100 m/s before leaving the water. The Tunnel Hull is getting about 80 m/s and with much better handling. I started making some video and looking through the Cockpit on the water at high speed is looking so awesome and then zooming through the Pylons sooooo cool  I am thinking about releasing a spoiler video.

It's been an age since I made a boat so I will wait to see what else you come up with!
