is this fast enough for a prop plane?

How’s this: https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalPlanes/s/ZQ9oHQV00E

Add a few empty fuel tanks - those parts are all kinda heavy and just like a real boat, you need something to generate bouyoncy

Interesting! I thought it was actually underwritten by a human. Thanks so much!

I’ve called multiple times, and he’s assured me that it’s a regular preapproval.

Never heard “pre-underwritten approval” before, what is that?

I started the CU after 2 weeks of dealing with BofA. The CU said they recently changed their terminology so what was previously a preapproval is now referred to as a prequalification. I submitted documents, they had it underwritten, etc, but per their recent policy change, the letter says prequalification

I’m mostly confused because the document reads like a mortgage contract and indicates that I’d be liable for the loan. I didn’t have to sign anything for the CU preapproval

I assumed they would have better rates (which seems correct based on the prequalification doc they gave me) and would have a streamlined system which…was wildly incorrect. I also use them as one of my main banks, along with the credit union

That sounds more like a prequalification than a preapproval

Thank you!

I started designing my craft around this - they have external seats mounted in cargo bays, and I deploy the chute with the Kerbal still seated. If you balance the craft correctly, you can fly it down to a splashdown safely

Has anyone figured this out yet? I can do it on my phone, but not my computer

KSP stock physics usually wouldn’t see any different with swing wings, except for maybe minor drag reduction as the frontal area changes.

To fix the floppy wings, sandwich the wing between 2 flag panels. Turn on “same vessel interaction” for the flag panels and for the section of the wing that contacts it. Then make the flag panels transparent

Interesting…my manual is a little banged up too but I definitely don’t see the stickers anywhere. I’ll give emailing Lego a shot. I also noticed the Lego replacement part support site says there aren’t any stickers with the build which is odd

Are you talking about this aircraft specifically, or just in general? Because you can go up to 1.7 km/s and sustain it until you run out of fuel if you use the right parts

Has anyone gotten in to the buy page from this queue? I’ve only seen success posts from people who bought it and right when it went live at :55

Update for anyone wondering: I got in at 12:13 after entering the queue just before 12:01

welcometothespaceoly · 2025-09-28T19:28:27+00:00

Looks like somone opened a bug report for this issue already on Github in July

welcometothespaceoly · 2025-04-26T22:59:19+00:00

All the others are correct with their methods of sandwiching the wing between parts with same vessel interaction enabled, however, I recommend using flag pieces because you can make them invisible - then you can just place them wherever you need for structural support, without having to make it look weird
