I always thought I was bad at making planes. Until I made a plane that could fly pretty good: https://imgur.com/a/Wg38Z

This craft uses LLL and B9

Flight characteristics:
- very short landing and takeoff (about three or four times the aircraft's length)
- It takes off almost automatically at ~30-40m/s
- has a max. speed of ~220m/s with the air-breathing mode and >300m/s with the rocket mode
- very good glider until you get below 25m/s
- best landing speed between 25-40m/s (has airbrakes to help you slowing down, use them with action group 2 and 3)
- can't really make orbit, so use the rocket mode only for speed or when you don't have oxygen.
