[Stock] Stargate F-302 Fighter

[Krinkut]

I got bored and looked around for an F-302 made on KSP. Didn't find any good looking ones so here's my attempt, which I'd say looks pretty damn neat.

I also made a pure-atmospheric version as a challenge to replace a jet fighter design I've used since .18. This design isn't perfectly stable but at the very least it beats all competition.

Action groups for both:

1 - Main engine toggle.

2 - Side engines toggle.

Space capable version:

Not exactly combat maneuverable but if you stick some flaps on the cockpit it should help significantly. The burn time on the rocket engine is (I think) ~2 minutes, which was sufficient to make a stable orbit and come back into the atmosphere.

Atmospheric version:

Although I never bothered to test the range, its top speed under 100m altitude does come close to 200m/s, and it's definitely combat ready (At least out of the planes I made).

Since this design has now become my primary aircraft basis, I plan to upgrade and update it regularly, and experiment with other possible variants, such as a VTOL variant. But I will be looking around for more designs to recreate, so if anyone's got a suggestion, I'd be happy to read it.

Nice, i haven't flown it around yet, but I like the nice compact design! keep it up.

I made this one a while back... here

Yours looks a bit more flyable than my version ... the prototype killed Bill on approach into KSC I guess the proper ones were supposed to be fly-by-wire...

[Krinkut]

Yours does look ready to flip out and explode, but aside from a slight scale issue with the wings it looks a bit more accurate than mine.

Since we don't have inertial dampeners to work with, making an accurate look alike with optimal performance will be a huge drag. At least something close enough will give the same sense of nostalgia.
