! ONLY MechJeb2 2.4.2.0 is needed !

This first plane im sharing can take off vertically & normally.

Actions bindings:

1 turns the turbo jet engine in the back on - 2 off

3 turns the basic jet engine on the bottom on - 4 off

9 extracts the ladder - 0 retracts it

RCS uses fuel & oxidizer and helps a lot to make insane turns while flying vertically. Its also helpful on supersonic flights.

The external fuel tanks and goo container can be decoupled anytime.

Its quite stable to fly under 20.000 m but with some patience you can fly up to 30.000 m with 2.200 m/s+. (Spaceplane Guideance only works under 15.000 m well)

With a burntime of about 60 min (when external tanks filled up 100%) you can take a 'round-the-globe' journey (when using the turbojet only).

With the goo-containers, enough power and a transmitter this little thingy can help on a lot of quests for science.

Im happy to read comments how you like it and how it might improve with some tweaks and/or changes.

UPDATE:

The tanker is WIP. Docking works without any problems on the runway and any 100% flat surface.

Hit the gas and brake immediately again to push the docks to each other. But its working also without this action when you act very slowly and precisely if the cockpits face to each other exactely.

Sadly the roverwheels are to weak to carry the big fuel tank. They tend to break in the same second when the tanker docks to the plane. so i dont recommend to retract the small gearboxes.

With "g" you can carry the plane and place it anywhere ;)
