Congrats Whitenuckle, you now hold all current titles, at least until Captain Vlad gives me his weight and part count.

Of course, I encourage to go for it.

Congrats Whiteknuckle for completing the Low Flyer Elite, current record holder for Largest, Heaviest craft and Lowest Altitude.

Congrats Captain Vlad, you are the first to complete the Low Flyer Elite.

Made my first challenge today. Simple but I feel proud of it. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/111025-Low-Flyer-Elite

Take your time but keep in mind then using a helicopter you won't be able to do much speed wise.

Low Flyer Elite Challenge You're mission is to fly a plane of any kind from KSC runway to the island runway without breaking 150 altitude above sea level from takeoff to landing. That being said, your landing must mean the craft survives to the point of being reused. So no losing half of the plane and calling success. You must be capable of taking off again after landing, not that you have to take off but you must have the ability. There is to be no use of the debug for this challenge with the exception of clipping parts for those I know like to get fancy with their design, but no infinite fuel, hacked gravity, indestructible joints, etc. This challenge is considered quite simple in design to complete but can be incredibly difficult when going for particular titles such as: Fastest Time Smallest Craft(Parts) Lightest Craft(weight) Largest Craft(Parts) Heaviest Craft(weight) Flawless Completion(nothing broke) Lowest Altitude Now on a quick note, the Lowest Altitude Title can be achieved by flying as low to the waters surface as possible. To achieve this simply take a screenshot in flight as proof at the altitude. Now being as you can go as low as 1 before hitting the water and breaking apart all those who achieve this will be put into the category together once they hit that magical number. Quick recap of the rules: No debug(unless clipping parts) No mods that essentially control altitude or fly your craft for you. and thats it Mods may be used just list what mods were involved in your craft and modded craft will be put into their own category. *Also as long as the mod has no control over the flight, ex: autopilot mods. Once completed feel free to add the badge above to you signature.

Had my little brother who is in 3rd grade fly my stunt plane to teach him due to how nimble it is and he survived his first landing attempt. Then I visited it upon his request.

Save got corrupted so when I went to start fresh I re picked my mods of choice and began building a station for building massive ships/stations off it before sending them out. One launch down, many more to come.

Completed two personal goals barely in one mission. I sent an armada to Duna. And I constructed a Station in orbit with it. More work to do with the station and I'll need to send them some fuel and more equipment.

All of my "first's" that I could find screenshots of.

Made it around without a hitch.

The challenge I felt was nice and simple so I decided to land somewhere special in the end because Jeb was in the neighborhood. http://imgur.com/a/8hBbr/all

I understand that the engines have had some work done in past updates that makes this easier but I decided to try it myself and show the results and I tend to over think my missions and end up ruining them in the process, so here it is as .90 definitely not hard at all and kinda fun for messing around.

Started in .17 and by .19 I had already made it onto duna and to the Jool system. Kinda got stuck there achievement wise for awhile until I took a step back to look at things a different way.

Did a test run with my new station concept on a twitch stream for fun: After the temp base set up on the Mun I refueled and returned to the station and decommissioned it all in style. An upgraded and updated version with go into orbit soon.

Did some work on my new station. Has a two Kerbal SSTO and a lander with refueling capability. Each craft weighs 10.3t Also I'm having trouble posting these images as albums if anyone has a tip. Cause I always just end up with this: <iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="//imgur.com/a/GUIKs/embed"></iframe>

Very interesting day today. I broke Jeb :-( Had way too much DeltaV for a simple mission. Mined my first Kethane in .90 which btw it says it doesn't work but I have yet to see an issue. Lastly I began creating a Station in Minmus Orbit for this career(science) save. All in all it was a good day so far.

Successfully invited the Kraken to kill my game when I tried to replicate the ship from Guardians of the Galaxy.

I enjoyed the title for the brief moment I had it lol. I need to do more of these challenges. That was fun guys.

I put in my K prize entry and spent time with the family. Good day. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/11214-The-K-Prize-100-reusable-spaceplane-to-orbit-and-back?p=1660022&viewfull=1#post1660022

My entry, call it the ant due to it being the smallest functional SSTO/Spaceplane I have made to this day. It weighs in at exactly 6t fully ready to go on the runway and as far as I am concerned is the easiest SSTO to fly out of any. Here is the orbit: Transferring all excess fuel to the main engine during decent for reentry: Reentry: I like to go fast Realized how badly I was short of KSC so I did a little sub-orbital hop with the jet engine, due to the lightweight at this point it was very easy: Notice also I do not have much fuel so if I mess up I'm SOL More reentry Not lined up very well :/ Lined up and landing:

Made a modded .90 setup and started playing around to test things, decided first to go big and make a Capital Ship or perhaps just a Battleship if I'm able to go bigger later. So far it is just shy of fuel for it to be an SSTO but I am determined to get there. EDIT: Made orbit! :-D SSTO official

Here's a cargo SSTO I came up with to assist me in building stations or interplanetary ships in LKO. It can bring up 45 tons (1 1/4 Orange Tanks) up to LKO easy. It was responsible with the help of KAS to build this WIP Space Station in 3 launches.
