Before complaining about non-stock crafts in a "stock craft" thread because of DYJ's minigun, please read the Creator's Note below. Thank you!

Get the KiG-9 here!

Get the KiG-15 here!

Get the KiG-21 here!

Get the KiG-23 here!

Get the KiG-25 here!

Get the KiG-35 here!

A new series of aeroplanes from the Kerbal's Socialist Republic: The KiG series! Based off of the famous MiG-9, MiG-15, MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-25 and MiG-35 jet fighters, these fast strikers are sure to satisfy your government's needs for a cheap, reliable, short-range fighter. Included with these planes is a revolutionary "maneuvering system", allowing the jets to be placed into hangars for safe storage. If you need small, reliable fighters, the KiG series is the way to go!

Important Craft Information

Part Counts:

KiG-9 = 32

KiG-15 = 34

KiG-21 = 60

KiG-23 = 80

KiG-25 = 110

KiG-35 = 90

Action Groups:

3: Toggle ladder

The most important thing to know with the KiG-9 and the KiG-15 is that you must take off CAREFULLY. They are EXTREMELY prone to tailstriking.

As for the KiG-21, do not take off until you have reached 60 m/s, and be EXTREMELY cautious when landing. The engine is very far back and likes to explode when you land. Also make sure that SAS is enabled when landing, as the plane likes to turn to the left when braking for some reason.

The KiG-23 is not EVA-capable. Also, wait until 60-70 m/s before taking off, it can sometimes tail strike (due to that winglet on the bottom :P)

The only thing with the KiG-25 is some minor landing issues, but they are not too bad.

The KiG-35 is not EVA-capable. Also, feather the brakes before actually activating them, the plane sometimes tips forward if it's going too fast when you apply the brakes..

Creator's Note

Yes, I realize the images have DYJ's minigun in them. Yes, I realize that this is a stock craft post. The craft files you can download have all mods completely removed from the planes, do not worry. If you want to add weapons, be my guest :). Unfortunately, due to the weight distribution of the plane, it is impossible to place the cannons in their proper place (the nose), and you will probably have to side-mount them like I did. Have fun, and thanks for checking out my second thread on the forums! Don't worry, the KiG-23 album is a place holder :wink:

Also, woo-hoo! 2000 views! This is incredible! :D Thank you all so much.

Hey, Guys! More Crafts!

Also guys, just a teaser for the next plane I'll be uploading :)

This thing's a beau. Based on the Tu-160, it is a wicked hypersonic bomber. At its cruising altitude of 12000 meters, it has a top speed beyond 600 m/s, which gives it some pretty wicked reentry effects. And, as always, relatively low part count at 108 parts. Coming soon!

How did you get the KomKat to fly like that?!

I parked the KiG-15 far down the runway and got it ready for takeoff. Then I got the KomKat to take off, flew it low over the KiG, and switched to the KiG. Then I took off with the KiG and the chase began in earnest :)

There ya go.

Make sure to show me your Zero :)

Thanks! And heres my Zero :) I havent seen another stock Zero, and I can tell why now. It was a PAIN in the butt to make this thing! But in the end it handles GREAT! The engine is clipped inside of the base of the tail.

Lift off:

Front view. The pieces here were made to give it the illusion that there SHOULD be a propellar there.

Could we get some things like the MiG-21? The MiG-25?

Well, this is what I've spent the last few hours working on:

The KiG-21, by request. A bit cheatier than the others, seeing as there is a set of clipped winglets in the front, but other than that its pretty great :). I'll probably update the OP to have this.
