Some planes to fly around with.

I have spent some time in KSP2 now.
Space physics have some nasty glitches, so I have concentrated on atmospheric flight.
First a plane is to explore the surroundings of the KSC, getting accustomed with the weather, physics and enjoying the views.
Simple, lightweight, cheap. Flies well up to Mach 2+. Landing speed a bit high, but lands quite well. Stable without SAS, but needs a bit of trim between full speed and landing.

Now to try out procedural wings I've built a high aspect ratio plane.
It flies quite well also, maybe reacts a bit too much on pitch input.
Note bicycle landing gear. How does it work? As there is no jeep with a take off assistant to lift the wing tip from the ground on take offs, I used a reaction wheel.
Level your wings, give it a full throttle and go. This one does not require SAS either.

The ugliest of the planes that fly well so far:
Built to have low landing speed. The XS fuel tank, air intake and engine. Oversized wing. Simplest undercarriage. And the pilot seat.
Landed it on the island runway. Actually, could do it with much less "untraditional" plane. But I like ultralights.
I wish we had stock piston engines in KSP2. And procedural fuselage.
