Fairkerbal Aircraft Combat Engineering

When I was messing around with the original aircraft wings that were released with the game during 0.7 or 0.8 I could not get any of it to work, and at the time nobody was saying anything about it possibly because they were too busy building spaceships. So I gave up on avionics, but after streaming some KSP and getting encouragement from some bro\'s I went back to avionics recently with C7.

Republic Fairkerbal EX-3

'Kerbals from Above'

Specifications

Armament: (Prime)1 UB100 (B Variant)4 UB101

Boosters: 2x C7AX-301

Countermeasures: (B Variant)Combat chaffs

Advanced SAS module for stable leveling flight

B variant armed with in-wing levels

Bomb drop

Landing

What happens when I land 70% of the time :

Takes the left wing completely off or just a inner wing

Republic Fairkerbal EX-4

'Rolling Kerbal'

Specifications

Armament: 4 UB101

Boosters: 3x C7AX-301

Countermeasures: None yet

No SAS module, all hands on flying

Equipped with in-wing surfaces

This guy was a bit tricky, at first I could not take her off because of the weight of the bombs that I put on, so I kept hitting the tower. I implemented a counter weight on the top of the craft to be separated after wind can be introduced to the fins.

Innovative takeoff procedure I implemented

First bomb drop

Second bomb drop

I think Bill realizes I did not put on landing gear yet ;P

Suggestions welcome

tail wheel, or do what the B-52 does, put wheels on the wing tips, maybe thats youre problem...or maybe youre drifting to one side and coming in a bit too hard and the game thinks youve collided

Lovely plane, never considered layering wings like that.

Really? That\'s kind of one of the main feature of the C7 set.

I am drifting to the side after I slow down to a certain point and my left wing lightly scrapes against the runway. But thanks for the idea

I use the side mounted parachutes from the DERP CO. Pack to slow my plane down before it lands. The placement of said chutes can be tricky, as too many will drop you straight down and not enough will have you end up dangling by the tail.

Thanks for the heads up, but that is not my problem. I am landing at an acceptable 40-50 m/s. However, AFTER I land I slowly turn right and my left wing tips down. I have solved this by moving the gears.

I\'ve seen lots of planes with the wings connected on their edges (mine included) but not stacked like roofing tiles like that. Yours is the 1st one I recall seeing.

Cool, if you liked it, check the EX-4 out.

if you drift, then go with the wing tip wheels
