for anyone who wants to experience the raw power of stock piston engines... here you go

A piston engine powered biplane that flies (just) top speed is 30m/s and climb rate is about 0.5 m/s, the max flight time is around 20 min. build in ksp 1.7.3 requires breaking ground and making history.

instructions:

1 engage sas
2 pres 1 to engage the starter motor
3 stage the engines and press z for full throttle.
4 pres 2 to disengage the starter motor. if you don’t do this the plane won’t take off.

5 wait and keep it on the runway. the plane will take off by itself

have fun!!

This definitely needs more attention. Excellent job!

It's the first stock+dlc piston engine powered plane to achieve flight!

Cool, but I can't test it. Could someone record a video?

This is very cool. And as far as I'm aware, either the first or second craft to do it.

The first non-stock was my own, with my own, never released mod.

Without a DLC: nonexistent.
