Box Tilt Wing VTOL Supersonic Airplane

Description
This craft is 100% stock and is capable of vertical / horizontal takoff, landing and speeds of just about Mach 4. Also it uses a box wing design.
How to use it:
Apply brakes, press action group 3 (maybe twice if nothing happens), press spacebar (the explosion is supposed to happen), switch the vessels (this design splits this craft into 2 vessels so this is mandatory), tilt the tilt wing *duh* to approx. 90° and start the engines at Max throttle,
After the vertical takeoff switch the vessels to start the main engines using the action group 2 and retract the airbrakes and the gears, level the wings slowly to align them with the docking ports. After doing the actions I listed you should be now flying horizontally.
To accomplish a vertical landing:
Slow down to approximately 40m/s using the airbrakes, press action group 1, switch the vessels and start controlling the wings and throttle to complete a vertical landing.
Action groups:
1: undocks all the docking ports,
2: toggles the engines
3: extends/retracts the assisting gears (they help with stability on the ground during horizontal takeoffs/landings
If you liked this craft, please, like and favorite it, this took me ages to build!

@Zackey_TNT that isn't funny. That's just obnoxious and unrequired. If you want the spare parts, buy them. No other way of getting them, own it.

@cat. do you really know what racist means? I think you do, but are just pretending to be funny. News flash, your not funny, atleast not in this case. With your pocket money go and buy some braincells, you cretin.

So, you want Making History for free? Not gonna happen, it's a large DLC/mod with loads of content. It's worth buying, don't just "BUILD ARMY AGAINST PAYING MONEY ECKSS DEEE FUNNY I'M CHEAP AF". I'f I've misunderstood you, apologies. But JESUS CHRIST stop doing these "BOB IS BUILDING AN ARMY AGAINST etc..."
