Unfortunately, this means if we are to replace the pike with the pike clamped, the clamped would take the #4 spot, with Berzerker 2.0 taking the #3 and Rabid Squirrel taking the #2. If that's alright with you Eidahlil then let me know.

I'm OK with the Pike being replaced. :)

While we're at it, let's jump on the airplane plus train, since everyone seems to think it's the bees knees: https://kerbalx.com/juzeris/Cookie

Cough cough nice plane you have there....

Not really a plane... :D While it technically has a bit of wing surface for structural reasons, at 16.6t, the 3 or so m2 hardly matter. It mainly uses props for lift.

I suppose that makes it a stealth attack helicopter. :DAt least if we ignore the parachute.

What if you used a helicopter rotor? those count both for thrust and for wing area.

Well, the main reason I didn't use them is because they provide pretty much no info in the part details in the SPH. That, and the really large radar cross section.

But now that you mentioned it, I went through the part.cfg files, and noticed that the Maverick engine is quite reasonable both in terms of RCS and performance. So there might an actual helicopter in the works, depending on whether I can figure out how to make it maneuverable enough. :D

Just add more dakka to compensate

There are probably other forms of compensation going on for that much dakka.

I'd quote a certain nine-section portion of the jelly donut scene from full metal jacket if it wasnt considered bannable (look it up on youtube). But consider it approved for testing

@Eidahlil, how do you stop the GAU-8s from overheating? 

They don't seem to overheat too badly when on guard mode. I suspect this is due to having many guns, and having useRippleFire on. Since the rules don't allow me to text edit that to false, and I could not find another way to turn it off for GAU-8, it sort of became a non-issue.

By the way, @exbyde, do I have to specify which category the entry is for? If yes, then it's unlimited. I added the cockpit solely for looks, there's a proper drone core behind it. :D

Its automatic. If it has a cockpit it qualifies for manned testing after unlimited

@exbydeI tried submitting a craft before, but i forgot to tag you.

Either way, I made an updated version of it. It does use Airplane Plus, is that cool?

No, mods are strictly prohibited. :wink:

I wasn't joking, now I'm confused.  Some of the planes in the unlimited category use Airplane Plus, so I assumed it could be used.

Dude, 80% of the roster unlimited aircraft are airplanr plus, as earthlinger mentionrd above your post. Go for it
