  1. Quick build from last night, was interested to see if I could make it and if it would fly. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dzjlldz5k97eb00/HK-VTOL%202.craft REV.2 Flight dynamics are similar to how it appears in the movie. Forward cruising speed is 40m/s. 80% power for take off. About 60% to 75% to hover. Only tested with FAR but it should still fly in stock KSP. Also made a maned version with Jeb approved upgrades! Will cruise at Mach 3.5 @ 20km. Press 5 to engage highspeed trim above 500m/s. 1 - VTOL engines 2 - Turbojets 5 - Highspeed trim above 500m/s 0 - Toggles spot lights https://www.dropbox.com/s/lthhh188bxqgumb/Caiman%201%2B.craft
  2. Recent creations. Gladius 2 man SSTO stock parts VTOL Variant B9 parts Experimental variants Made another Rutan Long EZ SSTO but with all stock parts. Forgot I even made this, while going through my screenshots. True VTOL SSTO. some B9 parts As usual, all designed and tested with FAR.
  3. Thanks. From mission report This is the beginning of my deorbit burn from a circular orbit of aprox 98km. All my designs are tested to 100km orbit as a standard design benchmark.

  5. Thanks. Designed and flown using FAR, Pwings, B9 and Infernal Robotics.
  6. Finally. I have avoided using the Mk2 pit for this very reason. Well done!
  7. One of my current favorite ships. The Gypsy Danger Mk4 Variable-sweep wings.
  8. YF-28B UltraHornet Can Kill Jeb with G's in FAR!
  9. Trying to make one of these was on my to do list. But you have done it! Loved that show and this thing is sweet.
  10. This is quite nice. It even works well with FAR. As tested in FAR: VTOL Flight is good. Controllable without SAS with some effort, with SAS it's nice to fly. Fwd Flight is fun to yank n bank. Def have to have room to turn it or pull through loops and dives, but it's more fun to fly it like that at high speed. It looks great too which makes it worthy of being called a Harrier.
  11. Rutan Long-EZ SSTO This thing is choice. GypsyDanger Mk4 - Swing Wings. Will put 9 Kerbals into 100km orbit with 600+dv remaining. Wings swept fully forward is reentry profile. You can see the wings flexing upwards as it enters atmos. Wings can be swept between 180deg to keep handling neutral at any speed.
  12. I've never had any issues with FAR and re-entry, and I've tossed some large winged crafts into the atmosphere at 3000mps and they have not disintegrated. Only when I have something really wobbly and poorly built do I experience any drag induced structural failures.
  13. My take on the Red Tank SSTO. This thing can go from surface to orbit, surface and back to orbit again with some left. It can also land without chutes. Airhogging to the max. Designed and flown with FAR mod.
  14. Love the look of it, but it didn't like FAR. CoL is too far forward in FAR. Sweet none the less!
  15. Yea, and it does it without excessive air hogging. It usually has an avg of 650dv left after a achieving a circular 100km orbit.
