I didn't want to be bias with the data so I just put the information that anyone could test. There isn't that many thing that I can test quantitatively other than maybe top speed. I fly the plane to 3km and then start flying straight down. I would then start pulling up at 1km a see the highest Gs I get on an accelerometer. The data from the data menu would usually be the highest Gs I get, but I would replace that value if I get a higher reading on the accelerometer.

The max amount of Gees your plane can pull (when full, in this case).

It's either GusTurbo, Rhomphaia, or Zekes for me. So hard to choose!

Max G-load when full (higher is better) and part count (lower is better) of the planes: antbin - The Ravenspjaar Mk1 - 5.9 Gs - 57 Parts Blaster - KermaJet RS1M - 6.1 Gs - 24 Parts boolybooly - Ravenspear Mk1 - 4.9 Gs - 21 Parts brobel - X-3 Peregrine - 8.6 Gs - 36 Parts Captain Sierra - Nighthawk - 7.3 Gs - 51 Parts Clouds - Ravenspear G2 Mk1 - 4.2 Gs - 32 Parts DaveofDefeat - Ravenspear mk1 v2 - 6.1 Gs - 53 Parts FlandersNed - Super Spear - 7.8 Gs - 36 Parts Giggleplex777 - C-7B - 14.4 Gs - 32 parts GusTurbo - Chickadeecutlass Mk1 - 8.4 Gs - 51 Parts HueHue - Dragon IV - 1.9 Gs - 39 Parts mcirish3 - Ravenspear Mk1 Ultra - 8.8 Gs - 96 Parts Mesklin - Speed Fury - 5.2 Gs - 37 Parts mrluckypants96 - RS1M - 7.6 Gs - 40 Parts Rhomphaia - Eaglehammer Mk2 - 8.2 Gs - 26 Parts searlefm - The Arrow MK2 - 4.6 Gs - 24 Parts Sirine - Ravenspear Mk1.1 - 5.9 Gs - 42 Parts sploden - Ravenspear Mk1 improved 07 - 8.1 Gs - 58 Parts ssTALONps - ATX-3 'Raven' - 6.1 Gs - 67 Parts Tidus Klein - Scout 1 S,F - 7.2 Gs - 42 Parts Xeldrak - CR Draco - 3.7 Gs - 33 Parts zekes - FRAK-1 - 18 Gs - 103 parts

It was okay at first but then I lost control while pitching.

I think you mixed a few guys up in the picture.

Xeldrak, can you update my entry on the list to the C-7B?

I was looking for the feel of the plane, which is bias towards the good flyers. Honestly, I think that when a beginner tries out a plane, he/she would probably fly it around KSC and do loops and such before they actually take it for a speed test. Also keep in mind that it was an incomplete list.

I've tested all of the entries so far by flying them until they crash (a very bad way to evaluate planes) and here are some of the things I want to say: - Zekes' plane is very maneuverable - Gusturbo's plane flies kinda like my plane - Daveofdefeat's plane is mounted on a launch clamp for some reason - HueHue's plane has its center of lift too far back - A few planes had rolling issues - Some planes pitch very slowly (those didn't last very long in my tests)

Until Xeldrak comes online. Also, my around-the-world flight:

I just updated my entry. It's called the C-7B now. The only change is the new canards (why didn't use those in the first place! ).

Zekes plane is maneuverable because of its extremely low wing loading.

I made this: I also made this shrouded docking port (because why not?)

That shuttle was very old and used RCS. I'm working on a new version with reaction wheels.

I might enter this plane for the Ravenspear mk3 challenge: It's probably going to be a guarantee loss.

True sub-orbital should be past 69km. For my circumnavigating flight though, I didn't past 53km.

Here goes nothing: C-7B The C-7B is a maneuverable, fast, high-altitude aircraft. It is fitted with two high-altitude engines in a Stablojet configuration - allowing it to fly even with one engine functional. Its canard design and its forward-swept wings has been called "very flyable, actually" by a few famous test pilots, although it might be a little too flyable. Features: - Very fast - Forward-swept wings - Pretty agile for its size - Easy to fly - Short take-off - RTG - Stabojetâ„¢ Technology - Individual engine control - Ingame description - Well balanced Action groups: 1: Toggle both engines 2: Toggle left engine 3: Toggle right engine 0: Toggle ladder Download: http://www./download/rwm81tusm5yyrue/C-7B.craft

Would this be a good plane for this challenge? I've flown it around Kerbin with sub-orbital hops before.

But with reaction wheels, (almost) anything is possible.

I was deorbiting my spent tug when it hit my space station. I've done something like this at least 5 times.

You'll have to start a new thread.

Good thing your Tylo mission didn't end like mine from almost half a year ago: They never got back to orbit. Their spacecraft looked like this: I really like how you used the lander's engine as the entire spacecraft's powerplant.
