Space Plane One + White Knight

[liquidhype]

Whats up KSP community!

I was watching the 3rd powered flight of Virgin Galactics "Space Plane One", and it dawned on me that it couldn't be that hard to build that thing and make it fly (?)

Long story short, I spent an hour or so bulding the craft and figured that maybe someone else wanted to give it a shot. It workes beautifully and is quite fun to play around with.

Anyway, I'll post some pictures of it and you can let me know if you are interested in the craft file.

BTW! The mods used in this particular craft are:

- B9 Aerospace

- Infernal robotics

- Space Shuttle Engines v1.4

Take off (Takeoff speed 70 m/s)

This is very interesting. Did you just say "hey, i wonder if i can do this?" or did you have some serious plans when you came up with the folding tail and double-fuselaged launcher?

I had a general idea of what I wanted it to look like. Did spend a while figuring out how to put parts in awkward places without using parts clipping, especially the folding tail. The rest was basically trial and error until it finally worked how I wanted it to.
