December seasonal/holiday craft

[Clouds]

It's that time of the year, when a lot of people get festive for one reason or another.

Please join in, if you feel like it!
(I bet a Kerbal Menorahcket would look pretty awesome.)

 

Here are two craft I made today:

VTOLT*
*Vertical Take-Off And Landing Tree (with ornaments)

Hotkey 1 for afterburner toggle (needed to lift off with the ore ballast not-jettisoned, which is near the tip of the tree to try and help with aerodynamic stability).  Spotlights for the animated tree topper are controlled as usual.

Very fluffy.  Terminal velocity is <21m/s.  Landing attempts at terminal velocity are not covered by warranty, regardless.

 

Keris Keringle and his Jet-deer Sleigh

Pulled by eight Juno jet engines enclosed in stunningly lifelike* fauna-esque artisan housings, you'll surely be able to haul that big, round bag'o'presents** (not to mention your own merry self) wherever you need to be, by whenever you need to be there!  Comfortably seats one pilot.  Take Command mod is recommended for quick boarding.

To take off, barrel down the runway at full throttle and hope you go off the end, not the side.  Yaw and roll might let you make small corrections.  After going off the end of the runway, pitch up hard.  Once you have non-negative altitude change, pitch back down (but still significantly pointed above level.)

There's not much control available.  It will tend to pull upward at full throttle, and you'll have limited pitch or yaw authority...just a few reaction wheels.  Roll to make turns.  If you can land, you are a better pilot than I am.
*According to our marketers.  **Bag included.  Presents not included.

Those are some good looking reindeer. Surprising what one can do just with a bunch of aerospace parts.
