@Mars-Bound Hokie  I realized just now I never responded to you post. Sorry about that!  Love the lopsided takeoff. That alone was worth the price of admission. Please take you badge.

I did months ago.

 

By the way, have you tried flying my asymmetrical aircraft (craft file on KerbalX)? Took me a few tries to land it in one piece, but I did it.

Will do. Also planning on rebooting the challenge with slightly different rules. Stay tuned.

Hah, supersymmetry. That's funny. You'd have to make your plane out of dark matter.

[The_Stinky_Broccoli]

i mean have a central piece (modular girder segment) and have to build everything on the side of it using symmetry.

I want the funny plane sticker!

Im going to try to do the challenge.

[A Nicheling]

Here is my first attempt, my plane is really difficult to control but it flies.

Awesome!  Thanks for resurrecting the challenge.  Great to see that there is still a market for the bizarre.  Wear your badge with pride.

PS. If you can upload to KerbalX, it would be cool to give it a try.

[A Nicheling]

Thanks!

The challenge was very fun to do!

Sorry, I have a few questions, how do I put on the badge and how do I upload the craft to KerbalX? (I use Mac system)

Thanks for the entry. Unfortunately, it does not qualify because you have used some parts more than once.

Nothing in this thread is reasonable   Thus, you have succeeded admirably.  Thanks for keeping the thread going!  Would love to give it a fly if you are able to post the craft file.

how in god's name do I do that? lol 

I've been in Kerbal for a while just not the community, and I have no idea where to get the craft files.

(edit: it also flies like a shovel)

You can also give https://kerbalx.com/CraftManager a try.  I don't use it myself, though, so I can't give any personal opinion on it.

does this one count

it uses Restock (not +), but since base Restock is visual change only (here the nose cones), it should count I think

[Klapaucius]

@StarhelperdudeThis does not qualify. It uses many parts more than once. Check the top of the thread for the rules.

No reaction wheels or fly-by-wire.  Internal SAS only, and bonus kudos if you can fly it with SAS off.

Am I allowed to have a single small reaction wheel on a 35 ton plane? I'm planning to fly it to another planet/moon and I'm going to need some kind of attitude control while in vacuum. Obviously, that small of a reaction wheel won't have much of an effect on the plane's stability.

If not, I'll just swap the reaction wheel for a probe core and use the reaction wheel contained there, since I've seen some runs use cockpits which also have reaction wheels.
