Diligent 2: Beautiful VTOL with amazingly good flying.

[MysticPing]

Hi! I'd love to share this awesome VTOL i made. Here's a short video going into more detail.

I'm sorry for the noise, you can hear my pc fan as well as typing and mouse clicking / scrolling. It's something I'm working on.

Thanks! It's gone trough a lot of changes trough ksp versions but is still by far my favorite creation.

It is very pretty and handles nicely but my dreams of adapting it into SSTO were quickly dashed: breaking 200m/s in horizontal flight is a feat, as is climbing above 8000m.

Yeah as mentioned in the video it doesn't have much range to due to the fuel balancing. Same with engine power. It's not the fastest plane but sticking another engine on the back would mean it could barely lift withotu another vtol engine, which would make it wider etc. You get the idea. It's this im trying to improve in version 3.
