Do you have rudders on it? Is it rolled slightly to the right when you re-enter?

Catching other planes in mid-air, of course. Who's up for some Plane-Wrestling?

Hmmm. Does this count? Made it a week or 2 back, 72 parts, fully stock. I think it counts as a replica since it's basically the gerwalk mode of the VFs from Macross. Yes, it's basically a VTOL.

Used to build rockets, now I'm just doing atmospheric planes, with the occasional SSTO/Rocket Plane.

It may not look like it, but it has 4 sets of the combined turbojet-basicjet, for a total of 8 engines. It turns like a brick. With that thrust, it was a pity I didn't find the transient facts, but I did feel the info high.

Why not, land the asteroid, then make it into the core of a giant hovering platform?

I tried "Easy". Went off the length of it after I smashed my right wing on the Mk1 Pod Memorial, the resulting partial roll destroyed what remains of my wings.

Note to self: Too much Ace Combat.

Looks good. Some extra photos from different angles would be nice though.

Do silly stuff.

This. Looking at what people did when you can't get something to work in KSP is fine, of course, if you're sharing the .craft file, it's always good to thank the maker of the craft you referred to.

That's why I said I remember love.

Taking VTOL to the next level. Yes, I do remember love.

Move the rear landing gears back more, with your thrust-to-weight ratio, you don't need to worry about the take-off speed. That should help with landing.

Did you revert your flight or something?
