Hi, craft builder here and 'baconspaceprogram' on youtube.

The key mods are B9 aerospace for the spiffy sci fi like cockpit, B9 procedural wings for custom wing shapes, and F.A.R. for more plausible aerodynamic physics. F.A.R. actually makes things more difficult to fly but offers more control over the monitoring of

Do keep in mind I am using a cinematic camera mod, and the speed differential between camera 'platform' and craft is 1 meter per second and the zoom is relatively high in some perspectives. Thus it will look like it is 'hovering' or moving very slowly.

The same effect can be observed whist driving in a car and

Hi, I am the craft builder, and baconspaceprogram on youtube. Thanks for your comments on the issue. I am really curious about the rotor torque or lack thereof as well.

Yeah, the craft is named the Focke-Wulf Triebflugel. This and the Roton Rotary Rocket inspired me to try my hand creating a VTOL SSTO craft.

Truly, I expected that to happen when I created the rotary rocket in the video. I was really surprised when the thing ascended like some crazy 1945 secret project!

Hi, video creator and creator of crazy stuff in KSP "Baconspaceprogram" here :) Thanks for your observations.

Hi I am 'baconspaceprogram' on youtube!

Thanks for featuring my creation. I was inspired to make these 'secret prototype' craft based on suggestions and inspiration from the KSP Facebook community. I found the Roton Rotary Rocket and the Triebflugel fascinating in that they both use powered rotors that don't require

Hi, Baconspaceprogram here.

Indeed I wanted to ascend through the thicker part of the atmosphere demonstrating the rotor lift of the "Triebflugel", but execute the transition to horizontal flight about 10,000 ft to demonstrate fixed-wing mode. I thought to leave the rotor bearings unlocked because the rotating section

It could be that the airflow coming up your windscreen gave the fat bird a sort of air cushion effect to float it out of the way just in time. That and adrenalin :)

For rotary winged enormity, I present the Mil V-12 with its 105 ton max takeoff weight. It's the largest production helicopter ever built.

Try the Mil V12 for size.

Angry Birds GO is a neat little kart racer but I also want a more 'extreme' version called Need for Egg: Pork Pursuit. Already made a parody in their physics game (Bad Piggies)

Meanwhile, the Bad Piggies have become bacon in space. A quite tasty proposition I might add.


Likely to be no playable Pigs in this version, so I took the liberty to make my own.

I happen to think your two pictures of the DeltaWing were just perfect. The first one captures the dynamic contrast between nature and what looks like a mechanical killer whale surfing on a sea of asphalt.

The second one, which is now my desktop wallpaper, has astounding sharpness on the car. Hats off to you for the

These pictures are fantastic, thank you :)

I was having archery practise in an open field one day with the school club as a sudden rainstorm rolled in and we ran for shelter and I felt a tingling sensation on the back of my neck. Didn't strike though, thankfully.

How did your experience feel? (Being actually struck is a curiosity of mine. What ifs and all).

Hey, you're on to something, maybe that's the next Generation supercharger system. Just drive under a great big Tesla coil and everything is recharged immediately lol!

I tried putting a very long rubber tube to my exhaust but it doesn't make any sound.

What is the problem here?

That reminds me of aquarium fish trailing long poop...
