Ciao's Trash Heap O'Stuff

[CiaoTime]

Howdy. I have a tendency to mess around often with my craft designs, usually with hilariously bad results. But sometimes, I get stuff to work, and then I slap a name on it and post it here for people to heavily criticize enjoy.

So yeah. First up is a miniature atmospheric plane made with 0.15 stock parts that I affectionately call 'Ady.' It takes some sliiiiight inspiration from one of my favorite fictional aircraft of all time, though it\'s vastly simplified.

And here it is at bay. The high mounted airbreathing engines are really only stable/suitable at low altitudes, but they sip fuel gently and give the craft a solid range overall. The wings are simple enough that a little flex helps keep its stability in most situations. One of my favorite planes for just cruising around like a goofball.

Launching it is just a matter of keeping it steady with the SAS at max throttle until near the end of the runway before pitching up. Keeping it in the air is fairly simple afterwards: apart from a real nasty roll recovery from nose-down, the aircraft\'s stable enough for daily acrobatic and non-acrobatic needs. Here\'s a photo of me performing a checkup on one of my cargoliners that didn\'t quite make it back to base with enough fuel to land on terra firma. Billy\'s fine, don\'t worry.

It also does a really nice Pugachev\'s Cobra. Dandred agrees.

Next up, I\'m going to try properly rebuilding my twin-boom spacefarer from 0.13. Times were tougher, then.

Building this thing was horrendously difficult with the old system. It still flew, at least. Here\'s to hoping the new version looks like an actual plane.

Nice! I like the twin-boom.

But first, introducing the Boxed, Reentry Optional MacGuffin!

The BROG. Fear it in all its glory.

'Like getting drunk and strapping yourself to a burning toaster while blindfolded!' -Everyone

Basking in the munlight. By now, you\'re probably wondering how it flies. The answer is SCIENCE.

Melting off Removing the back panels in flight provides sharp-eyed onlookers a glimpse of this technological marvel\'s innerworkings. The first launch-capable revision of the BROG has a spacious empty cargo bay, perfect for storing necessities like medical equipment, high-altitude engines, or a hot tub for the crew to kick back in when the frictionless vacuum outside gets a little chilly.

The BROG is a beauty to fly, with its heartstopping good looks dropping jaws around the world as it flies in a straight line boldly displays its phenomenal rotational stability. The blueprints for the BROG (version 1.0^-6) are available for public download, so get yours today!

That is stunningly beautiful
