Flies pretty well. I'm at a loss for further words.

Just when we thought 1.0.2 aero was realistic...... This happens.

oooh, I bet I can build a really compact stabilizing system for 6/8 booster rockets with this.

Whoever told you that has not played KSP...

What's unrealistic about that?

Believe it or not but this thing DOES fly.

Forgive my aerodynamics ignorance, but why shouldn't that fly?

Aww. I was expecting this

...but then it was just a Lerche.

I ask the same question. As they say, even a brick can fly, if you throw it hard enough.

If you're interested in the philosophy and intent of KSP aero, check out this article. And also HarvesteR's reply & linked picture, in the first page of comments.

As a kid I amazed my friends by constructing simple ring shaped paper airplanes and flying them right in front of their eyes. If you don't believe it then just do a google search for round paper airplanes. Have fun.

I did the same!

I made the Lerche in ksp using KAX and a cockpit mod. Then added weapons via BD Armoury.

Reminds me of how I built paper planes that were almost perfectly flat, well, planes. Weighted towards the front with some vertical stabilizers that doubled as stability weighs, the things glide quite well.
