Maybe its time to move on to a new class?

Maybe.

I am trying to see if after a full orbit I can get it on the down swing, but no luck yet.

I was going up to minmus orbit and plunging down. I thought that was the best way to take advantage of Kerbin's gravity well. Maybe a orbit might be better?

Don't know yet, I have been finalising Working Underwater Lite, which is now ready for upload once Spacedock get back to me for registration. As soon as that is taken care of I will try again,. In theory because you are not leaving Kerbin's influence and travelling in a parallel loop it might register better?

Are you allowed to eject? I am planning on sacrificing the aircraft to save the kerbal 

[Pastapower]

And can you use the insane thrust Kal controller cheat?

I'm guessing you will be doing the hermes? If so, you need to be able to go that speed with the aircraft and have the ability to land (it doesn't have to though)

They were talking about engine overclocking using KAL, which is a glitch but not a cheat

I've seen Danny2462's videos on it and would count that as a cheat (although yes it is a glitch)

I ended up doing a wave rider and got over 5000 metres per second! Below are some screenshots of the craft and it's speed

Sorry, but were you able to get 5000 m/s under 50km? I don't see any proof of that and its an important part of this challenge.

[iremainanonymous]

Is this still open? I might submit something later.

[Kerminator K-100]

Hey @iremainanonymous, yes this challenge is still open! Feel free to submit your entry! Just make sure to read the rules carefully.

Good luck!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Congrats!

I'll let you get by with this one, but the navball needs to be in surface mode, otherwise it adds Kerbin's rotational velocity. Another good way to add proof is to use F3 and get the stats.

Ive been considering making an attempt of the Glider mode, seems like a tough challenge

Wow, 6 months, you must have put some real thought in to it.
