Build an itty bitty, teeny tiny aeroplane...

And fly it as far as you're able...

And enjoy yourself...

@sal_vager Hi there. This challenge looks great, and I'd like to enter. However I don't want to necro-post...are we still live here?

Go ahead, I'll add you to the leaderboard :)

Great idea for a challenge.
I haven't had much experience making small planes, so it was a good learning experience. I opted for the non-hypersonic option, which I felt to me more in spirit with the OP, although I still went jet-powered, with the Juno, which I love so much. Thanks sal_vager for letting me enter!

Behold: 
The Cricket!

638 points
100 (entry) + (640,041m (total) - 667m (takeoff roll)= 639,374m =) 639 (distance) + 2 (Kerbals) -9 (mass) - 23 (length) - 14 (height) - 47 (width) - 10 (parts) = 638

Point of interest: Interestingly, from the moment at which the engine cut out at max alt. of 13,835m until splash down, the craft glided unpowered for 46km!

Thanks for the entry Maverick_aus, I've added you to the leaderboard :)

But now it's time to close this challenge as the format is pretty broken by the forum upgrade, I'll have to make a new one :wink:
