Howl Ho 162

[Wjolcz]

I always wanted to build and fly, one of He 162 planes. They are small, fast and pretty. Everything any plane needs. So here's my attempt.

29 images. 29 parts.

The plane doesn't have much pitch authority, so try to plan your landing approaches about 2 minutes ahead. I mean, it's not terrible, but it's not the best either.

Top speed at 7km: 320 m/s

Fuel amount: 25 minutes on 70% thrust, probably more

Don't worry about the Jool in the background. I have some mods installed, but the plane itself is all stock.

Let me know if you like it.

I would have put the struts as wire antennas between rudders and the engine, but they were too thick for that.

Nay, 'tis not. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/68799-Heinkel-He-126-design (it's really He 126 )

its not strictly he 126 and thats because i dont do replicas. i just wanted to have that 126 look with engine on top. he 126 is one of my favourite plane of all times
