Spaceplane Runway Landing

[RedDwarfIV]

My first successful landing on the runway with an orbital spaceplane. The Kittyhawk is a handful in space, and even more of a handful in the air - I had to put it into a nosedive to stop it spinning. And then I had less than a tank's worth of fuel to use to get it to land. I had thought about not bothering to put it down on the runway - but the Kittyhawk is designed for Eve landings, and so has an awful lot of wing parts to take advantage of that. If it can be held on course, its glide characteristics are pretty good.
