The Gonzales - Tiny 12 Part SSTO Plane

[Soora666]

Hi!

Im back again with a tiny SSTO, lke my previous thread with the 37, 25 and eventually 23 part SSTO i wanted to take it further and create the smallest SSTO by far and after a few days of testing....i give you. The Gonzales!

Named after the Cartoon speedy gonzales for its amazing speed this 12 part Plane reaches orbit and returns safely with a starting fuel of only 10% oxidiser and 60% liquid fuel in the smallish rocket fuel tank.

Here is the .craft file download for the ship http://speedy.sh/K93Uh/Tiny-SSTO-mk7.craft

Here is a video demonstrating a full orbit and landing with the ship

Thanks for checking out the ship, let me know what you think of it

Wow, this is smaller than the Flying Stick, my smallest SSTO! Congrats

BTW, the Flying Stick is basically that with a larger tank and without wings (it's a rocket). It lands with parachutes.

You should try and make it land like teslas dragon rocket on its engine.

My current objective is to finish my single stage mun lander. want to be able to take off from kerbin, land on the mun then get back without dropping anything.

I have almost got it done, just needs some tweaks then you will see it on here!
