Craft Description

This craft is a full stock 1:1 replica of the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, this craft makes use of no DLC parts or mechanisms. While I have built a number of large planes, it has been nearly a year since I’ve built an actual airliner, so I decided to tackle another one. I wanted to built a tri-jet as I had simply never done one before, and true to form I chose the largest tri-jet ever built, The Md-11, a largely altered variant of the DC-10.
This craft features refined versions of building techniques I had used in the past, as well as new ones. In total it took 3 months of on and off work to complete, as various difficulties and roadblocks would regularly halt progress on the build. This craft also utilizes a perfected form of the custom actuated wing surfaces used on my Drehmeister fighter craft to replicate the large control surfaces located at the base of the wing.
basically every section of the craft had to be reworked or rebuilt from scratch, this made the build the slowest going out of any craft I have built proportional to it’s size. However, I feel it payed off as the final product is notably more polished than any of my previous builds.

Real Talk

Burnout is a serious problem. Always remember that games like KSP are meant to be a pass time or a hobby that allows you to destress, relax, and have fun. If at any point a hobby causes you stress, that’s a sign that it’s time to put on the brakes. I learned that the hard way, and sometimes I have to relearn it. Being obsessed with perfection and a lofty goal can lead to great results, but it isn’t really good for you mentally, nor is it the best use of your time. I guess what I’m trying to say is, take it easy, and remember what’s really important. You’ll thank yourself for it later.

Keep it real dude…
