RAS-909 "Kyrian Wing" -- A Plane with Style

[Starwhip]

After a few minutes of screwing around with the gizmos, I created this.

Reconnaissance Air Ship No.909 "Kyrian Wing"

A quirky little aircraft, it was built to be disguised as a bird of prey when at surveillance altitude. However, Kerbin's utter lack of birds, or any wildlife, for that matter, quickly shoved this project on the back burner for the Kerbal Media's spy program. It remains a quality aircraft, however, fully functional in all regards. Tailstrikes are virtually impossible, thanks to Tail-Gear Embedding^tm technology. It can get to a decent altitude as well. Just be careful when leveling out... it's a beast to turn at high altitudes.

The down-angled cockpit ends up with quite a nice design feature: not only can you see the runway better when landing, but pointing your level indicator at the horizon actually keeps you going upwards, instead of leaving you sinking into the deep blue of Kerbin's seas, or the jagged peaks of the nearest mountain.

It's a bird! It's a plane!

Yep.

This thing is not* going to survive the switch to 1.0...

*Maybe it will, but logic says no.
