AVRO Super-Bee

This is the Super-Bee going against the current KOTH:

And...the aftermath...

Still a work in progress. I had to abandon the .625m design (couldn't get the landing gear to co-operate with a 1.2 tonne craft) but this one comes in at a lean 2.1 tonnes fully loaded.

I was going to follow up that question with "Could I still submit a craft for the one going on this month?"

Props are awesome, I was just too lazy at the time to install mods, because I was working on a 3000 part rocket.

Perhaps you should read the OP ... most of your answers will be found there

Putting a bajillion words in the OP that could otherwise be explained in 2-3 sentences (aside the rules) makes for people not reading all the way through usually, I read it through when no one answered the question right away, but still.

When is the next match 

Expand  

I can do matches Thursday night. Until then, any host is welcome to take up the next one.

including the 50 cal turret?

Expand  

no turrets. hmmm. forgot to add to op. doing now.

Are NO stock engines allowed? seriously? Not a panther, Juno, or wheesley?

Expand  

not this series, no. we're sponsored by KAX, so to KAX we advertise for.  j/k on the sponsorship, but really KAX props only.

Could you not just reverse thrust a wheesley and set it to 25% throttle?

Expand  

now that's inventive if we're looking for speed reductions. but this is props only though. props to those who figured that out. :P

Alrighty, when is the next ASC IV?

Expand  

could be July. At this rate... probably August.

Added the final version of the  AVRO Super-Bee to the hanger.

Stock fuselage parts, KAX A7 Sport engine, Aviator Arsenal 13mm guns and ammo, AA's antenna-stick-AI and weapons manager thingy. :D

Just a hair over 2 tonnes with a full tank of gas, the pilot, and all the ammo.

That's a pretty sweet looking plane.

And now I have a base for how to re-make War Thunder planes in KSP and have them NOT do a flip every time I try to take off.

Hmm, I wonder how this will turn out. Monoplanes historically had better capabilities than bi- or tri-planes, but I don't know how well the KSP aero simulates that. Would the extra wings give you an advantage? They add drag, but the prevailing theory of the time was that it gave better maneuverability. (It didn't. If you come close to stalling the bottom wing, the upper ones lose lift.). How well does KSP do there?

Monoplanes may have less drag, but as VulcaRaptor showed us, bi-planes had stupid high g-loading and redundant wings.

True, but the VulcaRaptor also had a lot of SAS in there, too, so it could out-tourqe the missing lift. If you look at some of the new matches, when a plane loses a wing, it's pretty much over. Unless, of course, it has an obscene amount of other wings. Losing 50% of your lifting capacity on one side is awful, but losing 10% is pretty manageable. Of course, that wound mean going really slowly, because losing one wing at 10% means 10x2=20 identical wings. That's pretty slow, if you ask me.
