Description

A stock aircraft called KP-1A Trainer Jet. Built with 30 of the finest parts, its root part is Mark1Cockpit.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.10.0.

Welcome to your first career aircraft! This is about as easy to fly as possible whether flying with SAS, w/o SAS, KB&M, or joystick - or any combination of the above.

Aircraft is super stable, can auto recover from a stall and a spin (if you can even pull that off - and have enough altitude). Designed specifically for those new to KSP that have interest in learning about flying and making aircraft - all you need is Basic Science and Aviation nodes unlocked.

Sits right at 30 parts to be usable immediately - use for those early survey contracts (make sure they are the low altitude ones, max alt on this is about 11,500m). Has about an hour of flight time, depending on altitude, the higher you fly, the more time.

Rotate at about 40m/s for take-off, stall speed is about 33m/s.

Reverse engineer it to see how it works to make your own and improve upon it!

Some terms to look up to make your planes better that are on this aircraft:

• Dihedral Angle (aeronautics) - set at 5 degrees

• Angle of Incidence (aeronautics) - set to 5 degrees on the main wing, ~2 degrees on the horizontal stabilizer

Have fun as it’s fun to fly!
