Description

Boomerang, because it flies and always returns :P

Basically a flying wing, carries five kerbals- four passengers and a pilot- and is capable of long duration flights. It s not a true flying wing- iit s got a small fuselage- but close enough

Important
This is an update: I’ve finally fixed the tendency to veer to the right on takeoff. It now flies straight as intended. Whew finally…

In addition, I’ve simplified the controls. I/k still controls the authority limiter (although more than 2-3% is more than enough), but now the Blade Angle is controlled by the Main Throttle. Action group 1 still activates the motors like before.

the controls are simple, it can be flown without SAS, but without it the plane will tend to pitch down, requiring constant attention.

To maximize lift, set the blade angle at takeoff to 78°, then drop that 62° as you accelerate to +/- 42m/s and again to 50° at +/- 80m/s. The F12 atmo overlay is invaluable for this. Use it. Love it.

A stock aircraft called Boomerang. Built with 97 of the finest parts, its root part is Mark2Cockpit.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.10.0.
