Quick facts:

Takeoff Speed: (unusally high, this is a test model) 120 m/s

Weight: 5.19 tons, about 1 ton heavier than the real-world version.

Landing Speed: 70-80 m/s (never sucessfully landed yet :P)

TWR: Full load w gear: 0.97 (real one was 0.42, i might swap the engine out for a rockomax inline version of the radial) Full load w/ gear: 1.01

Burn Time: 2 minutes, 30 seconds (IIRC real one was 6 minutes again refer to the parentheses above)

Dangerous meter: on a 1-10 scale, 9 (10 being that the plane just blows up when it just tries to takeoff) "PSA: I would advise not putting any important kerbals in a craft like this.

What do you guys think of this plane?
