I started experimenting with gliders a bit the other day and I came up with a pretty good design. It gets 10 minutes of air time easy, flying between 60 and 100 m/s and with an average height of 800 m. Anyone else make a good glider? Post it here, I\'m interested in seeing your designs.

Here\'s the craft file if anyone wants it, but I would suggest fixing the launch issue before attempting any serious launch. http://www./?b1855igd4rkzaqn Thanks for all the info, I\'ll (try to) put it to good use.

Here\'s the ship in the assembly building. It\'s extremely simple. I\'m rather new to KSP, so the majority of this stuff I was unaware of. I don\'t know how to get the craft file. When I said that I wasn\'t expecting more than 100,000m, I meant that I expected to reach that altitude and then come back down without covering much ground. I\'m rather confused as to how I ended up orbiting Kerbol, as I was aiming directly at the Mun the entire time. I had a bit of an issue with the launch, as the four bottom engines weren\'t enough to push the craft up. I had it set up so that the bottom four would decouple and then the bottom middle engine would fire off, but I had to decouple the four on the launch pad and they pushed me upwards as they were still running at full power.

Well, I\'m completely out of fuel, but my orbit isn\'t changing. I can\'t turn my SAS off, nothing is working on the craft. My only hope is that I\'ll cross paths with Kerbin near my apoapsis.

I built a rocket today. It was a simple three-stage rocket, made of all stock parts and mainly designed for a short flight. I wasn\'t expecting to get much more than 100,000 meters out of it. So imagine my surprise when this goes down: How does this even happen? I certainly wasn\'t trying to reach 13.5 billion meters. Is this a glitch? My speed is varying between 7000 and 14000 m/s. Similar experiences, anyone?
