It has lots of lift and will roll very well, but it does not want to pitch up.

Try adjusting the angle of the rear stabilizer using Shift+WSADQE to make it push down on the tail a bit, you might get better pitch authority then.

[Steamtex]

Okay, fine. I'll post something here.

First up, the highly unstable prototype!

Then, the one not many people know about!

[Majiir]

Is that second one an X-37?

[Steamtex]

Certainly not. an X-37 has those two little tailfins on the hull and not the wings. It is an X-## spacecraft, though. Hint: it had 10 planned missions.

[HawkKKerman]

hi, New here, But i'm workign on one, As a hint, Most of the early models were either 1. Were grounded, Or 2. Fell to the sea floor

[Majiir]

This should be easy to identify. I didn't see it already in the thread, so... (More images here.)

its a stealth bomber right? b-2 i guess

[Majiir]

Yeah. The B-2 is really the only thing you could call a stealth bomber.

Hmm Dyna-soar, My favorite mini shuttle.

[Caldari Navy]

It is the concorde.

*Ding!* We have a winner! Now start guessing the first one!

Here's one I bet nobody saw coming, though I must admit the guns are a *little* bigger and a *little* slower than the original. Also, the landing gear have a habit of snapping off when I touch down... I'll need to fix that.

Sopwith camel?

[nerdboy64]

Sopwith camel?

Bingo! Now all we need is a Fokker with very good SAS for target practice.

[Mindofscience3]

I'm sure you guys can guess what this is!

(might be a bit unstable)

[Giggleplex777]

Buran! With a An-225

..or a space shuttle on a 747

Is it a X-29?

[Mindofscience3]

747 with the Shuttle

Trying to break orbit with the Wright brothers.

WHoa! the Wright flyer! als stable as it was in 1903??

If they could have seen their design in orbit around kerbin.... Sigh...

Well in a sense it was a very stable design, probably not very much so for high-speed, but the design itself was remarkably stable and easy to fly. It can't break orbit due to the non-symetrical nature of the airframe and configuration. Once you hit vacuum, the plane is unable to balance center of thrust with center of gravity for some reason.

OV-10 Bronco? I like it!

[bennysmith]

soooo amazing pictures, thank you for sharing!

[grazy-93]

Take a guess at these!

The first one is easy, the second one might take you a bit longer.

The second one is definitely the F-4 Phantom.
