Presenting the Squark, a light weight, short range VTOL transport/rescue that replaces the Gnat in service.

Powered by Juno engines with rocket assist the Squark is very easy to fly with gentle handling characteristics.

Equally at home on land or at sea the craft is great for getting to those hard to land places. The rear docking port/control point allows for easy refueling or even towing.

 

CONTROLS:

1 - Toggle Main Engines.

2 - Toggle Rocket Assist

0 - Toggle Cockpit Doors

ABORT - Undock Fueling Port.

 

PILOT NOTES:

A joystick is highly recommended and SAS should be left on at all times.

The craft's oxidizer supply is limited so the rocket assist should only be used for precision flying/emergency power.

If the craft flips it is possible to right using the reaction wheel torque.

 

 

Enjoy!

Definitely a cutie! A bit like an atmo version of the good old Puff Puff. Looking forward to test it later on.

It's positively adorable! Another Cupcake masterpiece.

Adorable, if not a little awkward

This isn't as visually appealing as many of your others, Cupcake, but that doesn't change how nifty your use of the parts was.  Good job, also, I hate you for making it look so easy.  ;P

I just wish the handling was a bit more rigid, otherwise, the Bee and Squark are AMAZING! Took the Bee to K2 yesterday, planted a flag, returned with >2/3 fuel left!

I was hoping to fly it round Kerbin which it can't quite manage but It's pretty efficient for such a small plane.
