This one needs a little more explanation. 

I'm not sure this one even flies much short of supersonic. I do know that at 300 m/s or higher the thing is nearly unsteerable- probably due to the canards I put on the nose to move the center of lift forward a bit. I'm pretty sure those were a bad idea, at least without control surfaces. 

But that's not what killed a kerbal.

What killed a kerbal is that, for reasons I do not understand, this plane simply would not taxi straight. It started out slightly curving left on the runway... and then, whichever yaw control I touched, left or right, it would stay stuck slightly left or right, just enough to make it impossible to go in a straight line. It was not far short of luck that I got it into the air the one time I DID get it into the air (via probe core, after killing yet another pilot on a failed takeoff).  I tried all sorts of things, but nothing worked to straighten the ship out.

Here's the file. Those of you who Kerbal are free to try to exorcise the demons. Just tell me how you did it.
