The Arkbird.

[Killerdude8]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, 4 1/2 hours of work, The Arkbird.

This Ship is very difficult to get off the ground, But once in the air, It's much easier, I reccomend you turn gravity off for take off, Then back on for flight.

Action Groups are as goes:

1 Toggles Jet Engines.

2 Toggles Jet Engines gimbal.

3 Toggles Rocket Engines.

Pkease tell me what you Think, And go ahead and improve it if you want!

Use some mods. It would look way better with B9 wings.

Use some mods, because it would be inconvenient for people that use stock only...

[Killerdude8]

Of course it would, But the whole purpose of making it all stock is to be able to share it with ANYONE who is interested.

The second Iteration has a much more cleaned up Strut setup, Looks a lot better.

Not to mention that crafting a mosaic of wing parts should probably be an art form in and of itself

It really does appear to be similar to an unfinished ark ! I love original stuff keep it coming.

[Tank Buddy]

Indeed, very impressive as well. I'll try it as soon as I finish building my new computer.

[Killerdude8]

Thanks for the feedback you guys, but Don't get too comfortable with this current design, a new version is on its way through some rigorous testing and redesigning.

I'll have it up asap.

Hey, if you were taking design requests, I have always wanted to have a craft that starts as a high-altitude glider but can jettison a pair of wings and engine to become a fast, nimble fighter. Just an idea.

It does my Ace Combat-loving heart good to see this brought to life in KSP.

A shame that my computer probably can't actually fly it...

With 400+ parts, it'll take a miracle to fly it on lower end computers.

I've made a prototype of that thing with over 1.4K parts. Pretty much does backflips because of the shape of the wings. Check it here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/5237-Recreate-the-Arkbird/page4?highlight=arkbird
