Ranger - my first functional aerodyne!

[Andr0s]

So, after several nights of struggle, I managed to build a single-jet aerodyne that actually lifts off in an elegant and smooth fashion, clocks max speed of ~350m/s in level flight, sets down on fields and strips equally well, and doesn't spontaneously explode whenever I try to course-change, and all of it in a 100% stock, unmodded game. I suspect this is a minor accomplishment for most of y'all but considering all the frustration preceding this small triumph, I hope I'll be forgiven for bragging a bit

Wow. I don't even know what an aerodyn is and I'm impressed.

[Andr0s]

Aerodynes are, generally, flying craft heavier than air that derive their lift from the aerodynamic features of their construction, such as wings (as opposed to aerostats which are lighter-than-air craft such as baloons, and rockets which get their lift pretty much solely from stupid amounts of directional thrust).

Also know as a plane.

@Giggleplex : You Cannuckistani sure do take the fun out of things :'( Would you like to shave my Barbie dolls while you're at it?
