5 days in the making. 5 days of constant changes. 5 days of creativeness.

I give you, the XST Liara

Originally designated the XAS Liara, the Liara doesn\'t look like it should fly. Its wings are at odd angles, its control surfaces too. Because of this design, though, the Liara is my faverote aircraft to fly ever. Its charateristics are manuverable, with it able to do a loop with the distance of the launch tower and the VAB, yet docile and forgiving, enough to land this softer than a feather.

It also takes off in a hurry too, with the launch into the air within 100m. Want to tailslide, well, you have come to the right place, as this girl can hover, and is docile enough to make tailsliding easy. Thanks for reading.

Good old box-wing design. Very cool!

Its actually quite hard to put something like this together, therefore no one uses this design(s). That and its also quite heavy, compared to most, and people want speed.

screw speed, most of my designs are either incredibly unstable to fly, or are unable to land properly. Or in several memorable flights, both at the same time.

That\'s how my early planes went. Still, I practised (so much so that I have never gone to the mun, I must do that some day), and now 50% of my planes fly well and land properly. Good luck on you future designs!

It may not be fast, but with so many wing parts you can glide very easily.

Goes to my principals. In a dogfight with one of your craft, yours would be shot down, but do a hit and run style attack and you have the upper hand (just, as this aircraft could get out of the way quickly).
