[0.15 Stock/MechJeb] T-Tail

[SteevyT]

I decided to make a T-tail plane. So I made a nice long fuselage, then started sticking wings on. I may have gone a little overboard with the wings. It lands at less than 40 m/s, and it takes off before I think to watch what speed it takes off at. It cruises around 13km and flies at over 300 m/s; due to the positive AOA I have on the wings for it to fly completely level the nose actually has to be pointed downward at about 2º. This thing also has insane glide capabilities. The only problem is that it maybe should have slightly more vertical stabilizer area to help prevent side slip, but it really isn\'t bad.

I have two versions attached, one with a MechJeb attached, and one that is completely stock in 0.15.

Early morning take off.

Coming in for a landing on the other side of the ocean.

I kind of forgot to get pictures of the plane on the ground on the other side of the ocean and taking off again.

Here it is coming in for a landing back at KSC.

Due to the insane gliding capabilities of this thing I just barely managed to touchdown and stay on the runway. It was still trying to get back off the ground at 35m/s.
