You should make an SSTO version.

You should make an SSTO version.

sure, I'll try that

It's light and fast but the vtol doesn't work well enough to use since you have to be on an angle to stay horizontal.

7.5/10

do you? have you tried staying stationary? if you're moving around then you have to stay on an angle. It's natural for a VTOL.

if you're on an angle, you're not horizontal

I probably need to screw around with it a bit more

I really like your design, and I'm sure the winglets give a ton of lift, but as for keeping it smooth, I don't think you can beat those two stock fuel tanks back to back. Give those a shot

[LvL]

ok, 50-50. golden vote here

Whaaa? are you trying to advertise?

No sir, just sharing building tips I've learned. Didn't mean to be rude

and what do you mean by 'back to back'?

[VR_Dev]

and what do you mean by 'back to back'?

Well ya know, thats what the pic was for. As you can see. Attached to the cockpit is an upside down "MK2 to size 1 adapter". Then another one is attached to that. But backwards, making a super nice and smooth, fuel holding body.

But the wings and engines are attached inside the first piece, like so. Then you snap the second MK2 adapter on to hide all that.

Also cupcake... taught me it's much more effective to stack the missiles one on top of the other. This makes them far more accurate, and reduces weight. Look at any of his dropships to see what I mean

alrigthy, there were way more votes for me to make it more stable than to make it an SSTO, so I'll be releasing the Mk. 3 soon
