SSTO SR-71(ish)

[kelmv]

Hello folks.

So, I have made an attempt at making something kind of like the SR-71. I'm not 100% happy with it, but it does work (just don't even think about physical time acceleration). I didn't see a thread about them specifically (who wouldn't want to make one after seeing the mk1 airplane parts?), so I finally managed to build, launch, and land one.

In the images there are some RemoteTech parts on the craft, but I removed them for posting. The .craft file is here: https://bpaste.net/show/c4135b6c0a35

A few (crappy) beauty shots. Obviously I'm not a very good photographer. Frankly, flying this thing is so annoying (it gets easier with practice, as it turns out) so trying to get a pretty angle and all that is kind of hard, and it was nearing dusk, so Kerbol wasn't working with me, either.

Not bad. Funny seeing it not black. (One of my hopes, to be able to change colors and add decals in stock).

I'm not very good at building SSTOs, and I'm still trying to adjust to the new aerodynamics system, so I'm trying to figure things out as I'm going since there seems to be a distinct lack of useful info on the wiki about it all.
