Major Fleshwound

Starting building this sucker about 2 years ago, got to the point where it was almost finished too. Then my Hard Drive in my computer crapped out, and i hadnt saved any pictures of the progress i had made that were recoverable. Now here we are again, I am almost halfway done now but the lag is horrendous! I have 2 more panels in orbit, waiting for a rendezvous manuever. Currently i get a verey low frame rate, but im hoping the new update will help with that, once they get all the bugs sorted out. Someday i would love to Recruit a video maker dude to help me make an actual commercial with this. The finished sign will say "Kerba-KolaGivesLife" double-sided. Then, i want to put ANOTHER space banner in a retrograde orbit that says "DrinkTwang" and see if we cant crash em together and get it on video. Or, at the very least it might summon a Kraken or two. but thats cool too. I have a pic with the lifter attached, pre take-off, but its a night time pic. I can throw it up too if anyones interested how i Brute-Forced this SOB into orbit.

Been Playing around with the toroidal fuel tanks, dang things are near indestructible. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhzp6mer9y53m3x/ZOOMerang%21.craft I had to add rockets for it just to spin, the wings don't generate lift so it doesn't fly but only in a straight line lol. Kerbal-kind still insisted the universe needed one of this.

I've seen gliders befor that have engines. For take-off only but yeah.

I tried to make it taller,but it just falls apart no matter how many struts I use. The rails get stuck sometimes and sometimes they don't. The wheels were pretty much useless, they didn't help stabilize it at all really like I was hoping.

For initial flight testing they used tricycle wheels to take off and land. The seat also rotated forward 45 degrees to help with vertical landing. Also kerbal as @#$% im jus sayin

Ladders are ancient technology. elevators are the future. Our engineers couldn't grasp counter-weight technology, so we said screw it put some rockets on it.

It sort of works, most of the time...

I was reading about this and noticed no one has made one of these on the forums yet so I thought I'd slap one together. Can anyone actually "land" this thing? This is my challenge to all of you, cuz this whole entire design concept just seems kerbal as @#$% to me to start with. Those dudes from 1957 wuz crayzay. I've tried landing it a few times and failed horribly lol. https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4g1jqd3ntpb68q/X-13%20VTOL.craft

I made this but it only gets to 2.8g's.

I finally figured it out lol. Its kind of bouncy, and with the one rocket only goes up to 2.8g's. Needs moar rocket.

Due to inconsistancies in the quality of our Kerbal's flight training, it has been determined that new training facilities must be created at once! We've been trying to make one of these doohickeys. and one of these Thing-a-ma-jiggers. We have tried many designs, all of them horrible horrible failures. Am I crazy for thinking such things are possible in {stock} Kerbal at this stage of development? Can any of YOU come up with a working, non-explodey version?

This is an idea thats been swirling around in my head for a while now, i just dont have the patience with all my other inportant space missions going on atm I got the idea from Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers. I slapped this together in like 10 mins and this is by no means what the final intended product should look like, this is merely a proof of concept. The Idea was make the Panels for each letter as absolutely humongous as possible with enough lights on it to see it from any neighboring solar systems. Then i wanna dock em all together so they spell out "KERBA-COLA GIVES LIFE!"
