Fisher-Price My First Spaceplaneâ„¢

[purple100]

Ugly, turns like a cruise ship, but at least it\'s somewhat balanced. Took about 4 attempts before I made something that didn\'t do flips repeatedly in the air.

0.15 planes are FREAKIN HARD!

[Pikman240]

Thanks for sharing.

I can\'t make a working spaceplane to save my life.

I need a LOT more practice with these.

Dude, Im lovin it.

[Jatizso]

I can\'t even make mine take off yet...

If you have two wheels in the back, and one in the front, just angle the back two outwards to they are not as far from the hull as the front. The plane will be angled on take off, you you can acually get air under it for some decent starting lift.

Still no luck. After a few seconds it starts spinning, barreling and exploding in a mad frenzy like it\'s been hit by a missile. I\'m using the WASD keys, and I\'m activating my thrust to max. Am i doing it right?

I\'ve found reverse wings are not good for the plane. Use a simple wide wing for a starter.

Then you can go into the smaller designs.

Thanks for the design. <3

This is what I\'m trying to launch:

Landing gear config:

Hopefully someone can shed some light on the design.

Don\'t worry, it took me a good few times to learn to take off.

I have the benefit of being in the testing group, so i had time to learn and help find bugs.

[Candre]

My planes might as well just join the circus. It\'s still amusing, however.

[Jatizso]

From what I understand, my design is fine... it\'s just the landing gear I\'m worried about.

Try placing the gear on the wings. From my testing crashing it seems to be rather unstable of a craft.

Oh, and speed them out to about mid-wing or so.

[Jatizso]

It\'s a little better, the only thing is the engine touches the ground and explodes when I try to lift.And it starts rolling off to the side, jumps off the landing strip and explodes each time.

Success! I managed to take off relatively easily with a very stable and powerful RCS system, activated my engines and I was off and away.

Finally got my first spaceplane into orbit. It\'s a SSTO craft.

It doesn\'t have much fuel left, though.

[RedDwarfIV]

I\'m working on a carrier-lift vehicle. It\'s not going very well so far. There have been so many instances where it broke in half stationary on the runway, or crashed, or didn\'t take off properly, or took off before I discovered the hard way that it had too many wings on the front end.

Mind reposting that?

You could place the rear gear on the wings...
