A-10 Warthog Replica and an Atmospheric Private Jet

[horndgmium]

Threw together one of my favorite planes using only B9 and p-wings (AFAIK). I present: the A-10 Warthog! (Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxlpw0vu4wi4jku/A-10%20Warthog.craft)

Using the same two mods I manage to make an EXTREMELY fast Local Kerbal transport (my LKT series). The LKT platform is very versatile, and using it I was able to make a variety of different planes, the Zippo, the Hippo, and the Doppelganger. There are significantly more possibilities though!

LKT-1 Zippo (Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fruhu97n03cyo0g/LKT-1%20Zippo.craft). I'll upload the others ASP today.

The Zippo is capable of flight at 30000 m easily, as well as, how Jeb puts it: "it goes around the world really fast".

I hit 2400 m/s before I burned up with DRE.

PS: Alternis Kerbal looks amazing!

PSPS: these fly, and were designed with FAR

One problem with the A-10 Thunderbolt II, it isn't a tail sitter it is a nose wheel aircraft. And your wings aren't long enough and your tail stabilizer is to big. But otherwise good looking aircraft.

Yeah, unfortunately due to the lack of a giant Gatling gun, the mass up front wasnt enough to put nose-wheel tricycle gear. I think the wings ended up like that as well due to an improper CoM to CoL spread when I replicated exactly, so by all means if you can improve the design, do so!

It's certainly possible. I made my stock version with nose-wheel capability.

It's not as clean looking as yours, obviously, but fits the original fairly closely.

It doesn't like pitching down too fast either, but I assume that's just KSP physics derp rather than design. Am I right to assume you have the same problem?
