Long range plane, Gets to KSC 2 and back

[xvdBanksbvx]

Here is the plane I built to get from KSC to KSC 2 and back, I have not been able to properly test getting back though as the fuel lines do not seem to be working correctly or I am doing something wrong as the centre engine shuts down when the fuel in the centre tanks runs out instead of taking fuel from the outer tanks. The two outer engine on the other hand can take fuel from the centre tanks, Also the symbol for the fuel lines greys out when I stage instead of remaining green. Other than that it works fine, take off is as simple as full throttle and pull up then set the trim to almost full until 12km then as the fuel is burnt just slowly adjust the trim down and after about 30mins you will reach 15km and be going a bit over 400m/s. I'm sure it could be done a lot quicker than that, Once I get that fuel line problem fixed I will rename it from X-Plane 3 to something better just have to think of a good name.

That looks pretty cool but... Isn't the KSC 2 right near KSC?

[xvdBanksbvx]

About 700km I think, maybe a little more

What the circumference of Kerbin? I have a plane that can get almost 3/4 of the way around kerbin.

Roughly 3770km. Nice plane, too.

Wow. I didn't even design my plane for long range. It was originally a stock parts boat. I just slapped some wings and drop tanks on it.

Thanks, Wish I had a plane that could go that far though.

Nice design, how did you get the three engines on the back like that? I've been trying to do that for ages XD

Looks like 2 rows of mk2 fuselage under an mk3 fuselage to me. Low quality pictures though.

EDIT: Could also be 3 rows mk2. or 3 rows mk3. I can't decide.

They are mk2 pieces attached to standard fuel tanks but the mk2 pieces are rotated 90 degrees using the q key.

[kodemunkey]

You can rotate pieces?

[Vanamonde]

Yes. Before placing the piece, tap QWEASD and the part will rotate 90 in various axes. Hold down shift while hitting the keys, and you can rotate parts in 5 degree increments as well.
