This happened to me too when I was moving the wings of an aircraft from the root of the wing, only just found it out.

Now that I like, functional, practical and a good representation of the real thing! I made a BAe Nimrod R1 last night with the new flight model and it can now fly straight! Good job sir! Sam

Well you didn't have to click on it you know.... Also please don't give it one star because it is another replica thread, vote on the quality of the craft- I hate to blow my own trumpet but I think they are a bit more than one star. (I could be wrong.) Sam

Evening all (again), The PAK FA (by popular demand) is done! This one was a bugger to build, I will be honest, as the leading edge flaps and the awkward positioning of the ailerons meant that it was at first unstable but then began to become much more controllable. In terms of agility, this aircraft is quite outstanding with the aircraft able to easily do multiple tight laps fo the space center on maxmium throttle-the maximum speed obtained at low altitude is between 190 and 230 m/s. Not going to include all the history and interesting facts here, I advise you to research it on your own as you will find much more out there than what I can squeeze into a few paragraphs on here-to cut to the chase this fighter is set to be Russia's new air-superiority fighter to rival the f22 Raptor. Picture time! Thanks, Sam

Hi again, PAK FA is in the works as of tonight, it is taking shape but it is having a pitching up issue which while manageable can prove a bit difficult on landing-more to come soon. So tonight (made before this thread was born!) I present to you the: De Havilland Sea Vixen This is one of my favourite Fleet Air Arm aircraft and is worthy of recognition on this thread. It was incredibly easy to build with the only issue being the center of lift being a long way behind the center of mass during test flights but this has now being changed so it handles superbly: it can take off in a staggeringly short space and can land in less than 1/4 of the runway's length from impact to wheelstop. This version is equipped with external fuel tanks which increases the range of the aircraft by a little bit- I have made a version with anti-ship missiles but they are a bit clunky and are not the most aesthetically pleasing thing I have created So on with the pictures! ] Thanks, Sam

I destroy your bulldozer with fire!. My singed and bulldozered hill.

Hi, Just starting this thread to poll what everyone thinks would be the best aircraft to start off with, hopefully all aircraft listed should be done and posted on this thread. As per one of the options, you are more than welcome to suggest another aircraft for me to build (if so please write its name below). Thats it for now! Thanks. Sam CURRENT AIRCRAFT ON THIS THREAD: De Havilland Sea Vixen PAK FA

Well, you cannot magically place another docking port on the end unfortunately but what I can suggest is that you create a docking module and fit it between two parts to allow other parts to be then joined onto that. Hope that helps! Sam

Hello! Welcome to KSP! 1.Well make it into orbit first and then if you have fuel or anything left try and de-orbit it then but i guess you could try and build a rocket to do it in one "hop" as it were. 1a.Yes they do! Bigger tanks as in wider means that aesthetically the engine and tank look more natural when joined (mainsail), if your talking about height then it is mainly for structural stability, it also reduces part count and therefore increases frame rate! 1b.Not sure, for me it just trial and error (For the past year and a bit) 2.Yes it is but as you found out Kerbals experience a higher air resistance than the rocket and so fall behind the rocket, to stop this from happening you can A-cut the engines off or at least throttle them down if your doing it this way B-apply a reverse, braking, thruster or C-make a frame of panels to encapsulate the kerbal as he exits the capsule 3.Use the science equipment that you unlock later and of course, go to minimus as soon as possible! That way you can select soil samples and other fascinating research to carry out on the surface of the orbital body and take home or transmit for LOTS and i mean LOTS of science! Most importantly don't give up. If at first you don't succeed 1. try again 2. and again 3. then repeat the previous steps Enjoy the Kolar system in KSP and have fun! Over and out! Sam

Woop I am now part of the Christmas forum crash!

Like your style! Mine shall be called HMS Thatcher or HMS Milliband-ite

My oh my, what a fabulous design. I notice a hint of the ISV Venture Star! Maybe, one day! Also, that shuttle you have on the bottom left looks rather like a valkyrie shuttle, I wish i could make such a station without my frame rate getting shot down as well :3

Hi there, first of all fantastic! I am doing GCSE history at the moment and this is quite a great example of an engineering feat! One question, i have tried making one of these v1's and the problem i found is that it is impossible to balance if you have the engine at the top, how did you solve it? Cheers, Sam

Wouldn't you need oxidizer for that aerospike?

Hi guys, i am posting this on my kindle so sorry if there are typos. Yesterday i thought i might cwlebrate my German exam completion by making the uss enterprise from star trek. It took an age to make it flyable but somehow, i made it. As you will see in the video, Chekhov may have had too much Smirnoff!http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=l0CjkmZa2i4&list=UU6rxOxMXAxffeUFNdOWD55g&feature=c4-overview&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dl0CjkmZa2i4%26feature%3 Dc4-overview%26list%3DUU6rxOxMXAxffeUFNdOWD55g
