Thank you everyone for help, but I came up with my own solution. You can't see it on this pic, but the fuel tank with engine and air intake are attached to a tilted H-beam. The beam itself is on the cockpit, because the tail section has some problems with symmetry. That way I could experiment with the angle of thrust without touching the engine section. And yes, I know about the 162 thing. I just had a derp moment there not remembering the actual plane name.

I have better performance with this mod than in stock KSP.

Yup. It's one of the coolest looking planes in my opinion.

oh crap. its 162 not 126. that would explain why in google image search i found only 3 pics of it :L edit: im an idiot. fixed the thread name. the craft name is still the same, though. derp

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

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

My new favourite plane.

It's now up on Spacecraft Exchange subforum. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/68815-Howl-Ho-126

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 Download link: https://www./?tb1hqymj3a3cx74 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.

Actually, It handles pretty good. Just modified it. With short wings it looks even better.

You guys know that feeling when you ask about something and then few moments later you figure something out for yourself? Yeaaaaah... Here's what i did Needs some tweaking but it works. Anyway thanks for help Kvick.

I don't really know what to post here apart from: How do I make my plane fly and look like this: So I don't have that much problem with the look, but the engine makes it frontflip every time I try to lift off. I want to make it stock. Any clues on how to put that jet engine on top with plane being flyable?

I liked War Thunder for it's Simulator battles, but the for recent update I gave the game "Pay or lose your sanity if you want that plane" badge and kicked it's butt outta my computer.

Motherships are cool. I made like dozens of them. Although I don't have the pics, cause they went to the bin right with my old game versions I sent at least 3 to Duna, 2 to Eve, 1 to Laythe and 1 to the Mun. Always put the engines in the front. Will probably update this post with some other pictures if I find any. EDIT: Here are two more: Stratus orbiting Laythe and my favourite - Kilmeister orbiting Mun You can clearly see those two have more fuel tanks, that's because they were intended to be long range/explorer ships. Just added an adapter in the front for more fuel tanks.

How about pics from Alternis?

I remember when I started playing the game I never wanted to leave Kerbin, because I was so scared of being in the big open space with nothing sorrounding me. Had the same issue with pools and swimming in the sea IRL. I think at some point I grew up from that or the game cured me. It was back in the days when the skybox was very dark and Kerbin was the only body in the system.

What's that lil' orange house icon in the VAB?

I think I keep saying it in every thread of this type: Spaceplane parts and 3-man pod overhaul. And I would be 100% satisfied.

The thread got moved and it doesn't get that much of attention anymore.

Nova, I have a request. If you're going to redo the easter eggs, please make them 2001-ish. So if I go to, let's say, Laythe and find a pyramid there and in it would be a map of some sort or a puzzle showing the next destination to go to. I'd like that very much.

any update? Is Markus even working on this mod still?

Wow, this plane reminds me of the old good times when I used to build stuff like that with C7's pack.

Keep in mind the refueller is still in prototype state. I'll finish it and develop some variations when i have the time.

Just a bug report. Nothing game breaking, but Jool seems to fly away when in KSC scenery Apart from that no sats from Kerbin orbit went missing when launching the game.
