My first Craft to share here: The Duna Flyer

[Tantalus]

Hey folks,

this is the first craft i think is worth to publish here. My intention was to buid a craft that is able to take off at a Duna ground base, fly to any desired destination, deplay a science rover (if needed) and return to base. It can fly kerbaled as well as unkerbaled, and the open-air-seat on the rover provides a great view. 65 parts, 5500m/s dV whenn completely fuelled (you can drain the wing tanks for easier handling), 19,7t wet mass.

I like it.

 Looks sleek and like a glider. And I love the tail section you made.

Thanks. Yes i tried to make it glider-like to be able to land at low speeds in Dunas thin atmosphere.

And i like the tail section, too.

Yup, you need a lot of surface for Duna gliding. And I love the terror when you remember how long it takes to slow down!
