Atmospheric Plane "VTOL Paradise" created with stock parts from 0.25

[Xenro66]

I hope I'm not over-posting, if I am, just let me know and I'll stop posting for a while

So after watching one of Scott Manley's new videos. more specifically, the one about VTOL planes, I thought it'd be fun to make a decent VTOL plane out of the new stock parts. Honestly, it turned out way better than expected. It is extremely balanced, has FOUR reaction wheels to overcome any offset thrust and it flies fairly well horizontally too. Only thing that is missing is air-brakes. They'd be sooooo handy. The vertical engines are 2 Basic Jet Engines and the forward flight engines are 3 Turbofan Jet Engines. Maybe I should adapt it into a SSTO? It'd inhibit the VTOL function a lot though :/. Maybe I can adapt it into a cargo plane? Hmm I'd need to swap out a lot of parts for Mk2 fuselage and cargo bay

Anyway, I'm rambling way too much. I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think by leaving some feedback?

If you want the craft file, tell me and I'll throw it up onto MediaFire. Be aware that you might need FAR for the forward flight to be balanced.

Looking really neat! Thank god there are airbrakes included in B9 etc. Also looking forward to that .craft file

Thanks!! Yes, airbrakes would've been fewkin handy. I'm just waiting for B9 5.2 to actually be compatible with KSP 0.25

If you still want the craft, I just put it on DropBox (shortened link) http://bit.ly/1CDZ98A

Be aware that the wings are balanced with FAR. It might work with NEAR, I'm not sure. Anyway, have fun
