Oh good grief editing KerbalX pages is awful! After I spent half an hour typing up my first upload, (making do without the mouse, thanks, Web 2.0h!!! so sexy!!!) it threw away my changes and popped up a bizzare, erroneous error message about my screen size. Screenshotting that blew away the text I’d copied before publishing; an unexpected surprise from Windows 10 which previously only saved the screenshot.

Description

block 9599

Ended up being my favourite plane to fly. It’s the only one I can fly without SAS, although I need it to hold pitch at low speed. (I rarely fly it at low speed, it’s not amazingly fast.) It’s especially stable at 120m/s forward and 2km altitude. That’s about it’s limit too, although it’ll get to 140m/s at higher altitudes, much like the Mallard.

had to put col above com. the bays are so light, the floats drag com down.
has more wing area than mallard, perhaps slightly better area/mass.
tilting the hydrofoil helped a lot.

A stock aircraft called XA Greylag. Built with 178 of the finest parts, its root part is mk3CargoBayL.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.11.2.
