Reminds the MiG-21I prototype used to confirm the Tu-144 wing profile.

That is the Mig-21I Analog !

I've build it:

And in a completely unrelated tangent, I have also figured out recently another great use for the shuttle rear end... turns out that it's great to make Mk3 rings! The Z-fighting that you usually get when you clip Mk3 fuselages together is very annoying, which is the reason I never showed any, so now that I've fixed that I just have to figure out how to put this... thing into orbit. It's around 36 40m in diameter, and I used the "short" Mk3 sections!

Rune. I imagine it will involve lots of boosters. :rolleyes:

I have to try that!

Patience, friend. I haven't even tested it yet.

Might want to make it slightly longer, at the moment it being so stubby looking makes it seem like a Yak-30 except for rudder placement. Just add another fuel tank, and clip it about half way into the previous fuel tanks to make it about long enough, cheers!

 

I love the MiG-15, great plane really.

Doing some final testing with my new working mega-truck build for 1.1

Might release it this week. I have a basic shuttle on the way too.

Meanwhile, in space...

 

Poker ?

 

:D lol

 

Testing my new ES-12 (ejection seat 12) and my rockets... rockets need spin stabilization... easy fix.

woops... forgot that my newest fighter jet (not released) was the plane I was building them on... heh

This was supposed to be a glorified falcon 9 ~ish rocket.

Ended up SSTOing 50 tonnes to 80x80 orbit and landing with 100dv left

Has 7 vectors, uses 3 to land

Oddly, the only way to re-enter without overheating is to deploy landing legs and induce a flat spin. KSP: losing control to enhance your safety :D

Sounds awesome!

Still working on my Sentinel Project, here is a view of my S7-F14 Tomcat with a full Bomb Load. When testing I was able to Destroy the VAB.

 

Does the F-14 carry bombs on its wings? I think it only has hard points on the bottom of the fuselage because of the variable geometry wings.

Source: I.. Uh... Flew the Tomcat a lot in Acecombat 4.

Yes they should be hard points and I wish they did't release from both ends, it should only release the item attached. I may add them for looks. Also I don't emphasize too much on replication. My Tomcats are S7 so there will be many differences, one will be a Rapid Fire Cannon that will be introduced with the projects release.

Today I had a look at making a trailer for a rover I'd just designed. Thinking of how I did it, I looked back to @Majorjim using the antenna for a rotating joint, and built from there. The result was a highly effective, simple to use trailer hitch, made from some control surfaces and antenna:

Here's a video of it in action in a use I'd call 'practical':

I learnt that the best way to stop the trailer wobbling behind me is to really keep on the controls, and just use the front wheels to steer. Once you get into the swing of it, it's very easy to use.

And here's a video of me really testing the concept, in a less practical use:

It found that it worked really really well here, and I was hardly maxing out the limit of the rover. It always managed to get up to speed, even without extra power from the trailers. Perhaps I can look into some heavier payloads. 

But yeah, ROAD TRAINS

Working on something that looks like a ME-262 right now, I like the looks a lot. :cool:

 

 

I like it! Made something similar myself awhile back, a replica of the Nakajima Kikka. (Japanese Me-262-like vehicle built in 1945, the only japanese jet aircraft of world war 2)

Nice, I looked up the Nakajima Kikka on Kookle and found this:

Looks like I have a new project now, thanks :cool::cool::cool:

lol! Awesome :)
I suggest the BV 215, that one was superior to this one, and similar in construction.

That looks like a KSP- newbie design....Gnehehe... :sticktongue:

Allways looking for weird aircrafts, never saw this. Amazing.

Thanks again, but I think I will pass on designing this one. ^_^
