Dinjoralo

Oh man, I got my plane into orbit! Thanks for your help guys, I learned a lot both making and flying this. Now I need to figure out how to set this thread as "answered".

So, I've managed to completely ground the plane in only a few minutes, and after a good couple hours, it's back to a state where it can go up. And that's as far as I'm getting today, because I'm starting to get tired of this.

Oh, that's probably why my plane goes absolutely mental at around 10,000 meters. And I finally figured out how to set Action Groups, so I can turn off all the jets at the same time. On an unrelated note, I'm starting to get annoyed with Jeb always being the pilot whenever I go to the hangar and back.

Yeah, there are six jets on there. I'll remove two of them, and make another two rocket engines for when I get to 180,000 meters. Thanks for the help, everyone! Also, yay for being able to have an avatar!

Oh, do they? Thanks for telling me, I'll rework my design a bit to add normal rocket engines.

So, I've managed to make a plane that can get off the landing strip without veering into the hangar. So, how can I fly it into a stable orbit? The two main things I'm thinking will be issues are the jets not working at 18,000 meters, and the possibility of running out of fuel. Here's a picture of the Spess Plenn. Marvel at how it can actually fly.

Yeah, I think I remember doing that for both the landings. I know I did it for the rescue pod, took me a lot of tries. Also, thanks for telling me about the posting things. I've already got one of those ribbons set up.

Hi. My name, or rather my internet handle, is Dinjoralo. So far, I've managed to get three kerbanauts to the Mun, only for everything but the command pod to blow up, leaving them stranded. Then I sent a rescue vehicle, only for it to be really far away from the landing site, leading to one kerbal dying on the way and me decommissioning it. I've also got a satellite around Kerbin, which I am sure will be of no use to anyone. I also can't figure out how to change my signature, and I seem to be locked out of changing my avatar, so if anyone could help I'd appreciate it.
