Agent Chieftain

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I took them and used them to update my design into: The Mk.III Rocket Jet! With this update, it now has the fuel to make it all the way to the other continent with a little bit to spare. With the extra weight, she's a little easier to handle at high speeds too, and can hold a straight and stable flight path without SAS using only minimal trim inputs. However, it still retains the ability for extremely swift acrobatic maneuvers.

I purchased the game just a few hours ago, and was looking for opinions on my first successful design. Introducing: The Mk.II Rocket Jet! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529559937 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529559971 Has a takeoff speed of about 50m/s and can reach said speed in just under 6 seconds if starting at full throttle. Can reach a max airspeed of 1230m/s (approximately mach 2.6) before exploding. I did a test trip to the island airport and back. Below details the journey. First we begin with the takeoff! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560021 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560056 Then a view of the ocean from the cockpit! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560100 Coming in for the first landing... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560130 Landing successful! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560172 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560225 Leaving the island... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560261 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560302 The Mk.II, on it's way home! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560302 Coming in for the final landing... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560376 Almost there!... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529560409 Whoops...
