Albatross K1 - Sea-Plane, STSL, High Altitude Bi-Plane

[Alfondoo]

Hey folks,

I present to you the Albatross K1. Probably my finest vehicle to date, hence I wanted to share it with you all. Very easy to fly. Only 181 Parts.

It features:

Short-Takeoff-Short-Landing systems - Using RCS and a downward facing engine, this also helps to aid it's ability to lift off in water.

Parachute - For precision landing. Able to land on top of the VAB, possibly most other places with ace pilot skills.

Sea-Plane landing gear

High altitude, high range cruise capability - Range: Enough || Altitude/Speed: 25km's @ 1350m/s (could easily be extended with extra intakes)

Easily adapted to take on a range of uses such as extra seats for your Kerbals or even sling some cargo underneath it. It's not quite a VTOL but could easily be made to do so.

Almost no mods were used for this, P-wing is the only mod needed. I have taken care to scour the craft file for any other mods but I think it's clean, please let me know otherwise.

Without further ado, here's the album containing some highlights of this craft!

Action Groups:

1: Main Engine

2: Vertical Engine

3: Deploy Chute

4: Cut Chute (emergency)

Brakes are rear only, for shorter landings I recommend adding the forward gears too. Careful though, it has a high center of gravity.

I hope you enjoy it
