Yak-110: The most Kerbal Plane

55 x 2 = 110.

Besides being two Yak-55s joined as one, the Yak-110 follows the Kerbal mantra of "moar boosters!!!1!!" by having a General Electric J-85 slung under its wing! It's also the only tri-engine aircraft capable of unlimited-class aerobatics. And of course, it has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 1. More information can be found at https://yak110.com/.

My scale replica has a good amount of detail, most of which can be seen in the first picture of the gallery below. To do this, it uses a rather hefty 925 parts. It's got a wingspan of 14.35m and a length of 9.54m. Like the real thing, it also has a TWR of more than 1 - this necessitated clipping 8 junos into the tailpipe.

It flies like an aerobatic plane should. As is, it is difficult to get it to drop a wingtip in turns, especially when using rudder. If you'd like to try some post-stall aerobatics and really break it loose, you can fill up the auxiliary fuel tanks in the lower rear empennage (although selecting them will be quite the hassle, it's rather part-dense). Top speed with props is around 70 m/s, top speed with the jet is around 85. Anything above that requires feathering the props.
