Do you have to complete all challenges in one flight?

No! Feel free to do several flights and have a different goal each time! All of the challenges are separate - they may or may not happen in the same flight, they just have to happen in the same craft.

• SAS on
  
• RCS on
  
• Throttle up with 'I' (default)
  
• Rock forwards first and then backwards to take off
  
• 'A' and 'D' control wing level
  
• Stabilise your flight before you run out of electricity for maximum glide

Video uploading now just FYI. This is apparently a really good use for the Phantom Force wing flaps!

No you can have different flights with different focus, but generally flight time and distance at least will be in the same flight.

Top ten has been changed to place you first... for now

Good luck!

Stats updated.

You got a 180kg hunk of metal to >1 km/s... well then. I just lost this game haha xD

[Robbii6]

Erm

[jgjiscool]

Sweet KerbalMother! What have I started!?

Two records broken in one go!

[Robbii6]

The problem is that i have no satisfaction as im only beating myself XD

[jgjiscool]

That's because nobody else will ever be able to comprehend a 180kg object travelling in excess of 1.5 km/s without being killed by it! I shall have a go tomorrow, but since it's just gone 2 o'clock, I might hit the hay

I mean my best speed (shown in the video) was ~900 m/s
