The Legendary Spitfire (Stock) V2

[HolidayTheLeek]

For a very, very long time now, I've wanted to make a new version of that Spitfire I made a while back. I personally thought it wasn't very good, and I could've done a much better job, so I finally did. Now, technically, this is actually V3, however, I never released the other one I made since I figured out new techniques of making smoother looking aircraft as soon as I finished it.

Just for perspective, here is the real Spitfire:

Here is my old replica:

And here is the newer version I made:

As you may be able to see, the newer version is much cleaner, and is much closer to the original Spitfire. As an added bonus, It's also much faster, and the propeller doesn't pop out and break as easily. I have also included a speed build which shows myself building the Spitfire; the video is here:

I didn't design the bearings used for the stock propeller in this aircraft. The original design being created by MajorJim, and then being modified using different parts by Klond and Azimech. Anyways, here are more pictures.

The download and specifications are down below.

Download: (HERE)

Top Speed: 78m/s (sea level), 87m/s (3000-4000m)

Top Speed (in a dive): 120-130m/s (depends on altitude and angle

Stall Speed: around about 19-20m/s

Takeoff Speed: around about 20-21m/s

Climb Rate: 10-15m/s

Instructions:

1: Decouple the propeller from the craft

2: Turn on SAS for the main craft, but not the propeller

3: Switch to propeller (using [ ] keys)

4: Hold down ALT + E until the roll meter is completely to the right

5: Wait until the aircraft takes off

6: Fly like normal, but avoid dipping below 20m/s.

 

Thanks for reading this post!

Wow, that’s great! It looks so much better. Have you tried using heatshields or FL-A5 Adapters to get the curves on the horizontal stabilisers and tail fin?

I've never thought of using those parts, I might try that out to see if it's viable

EDIT: I couldn't figure out how to use the heatshields or the FL-A5 adapters in the tail fin, however the heatshields looks pretty good applied to the horizontal stabilizers.

For the tail fin, I just jammed a few basic fins to finish off the shape. I like the shape, just not the orange it adds.

At the moment, I'm kind of on the fence about it.

Hello all! I've decided to start using KerbalX (I have no idea why I didn't do this earlier)
