Description:

I Decided to to go back to my oldest craft file and update it. One of the two variants of this updated craft file is a direct upgrade over the original craft, Argentus. "X1a" is an atmospheric only non space plane. It has a lower part count with the same TWR and keeps the high maneuverability of the original. The aesthetics have also been upgraded (in my opinion). "X1s" ("s" for space plane) is the space plane variant capable of doing a land and return mission to Mun with out refueling and with only one stage. To make landing easier on Mun or Minmus i have added landing rockets. Just be careful as these rockets burn fuel faster than the atomic engine and can jeopardize a return if used too much. X1s is easy to control at any fuel level and can 'times 4 speed' to orbit. With out SAS engaged the craft likes to slightly pitch up or down depending on fuel level.

nice looking spaceplane, but the download is broken

That's because this plane is from 2015.

Seriously how do people keep finding these old threads?
