• KSP: 1.12.5

Really, really easy to fly plane. Recommended for super-duper-newbies, although more experienced players likely can still learn some things from the design. The plane is tuned to handle similarly to a Cessna-172N, although jet engines handle significantly differently than propellors so there’s not much to be done there.

The plane probably doesn’t look super special from the pictures/videos but I guarantee you’ll be able to tell how easy it is once you’re actually flying it.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.5.
