[What did you do in KSP1 today?]

Today i messed with helicopters.

It works, but turning is an issue

i also made a pretty good looking SSTO, stable but ends up spinning if you turn too hard in the upper atmosphere. Pretty manouverable too.

How do stock prop planes even work? Not looking for a tutorial or anything, just a reason...

They are... interesting
Basically you have a second craft on the inside of a hollow object (eg. fairings) that have (in my case) dual stayputniks clipped into them, it allows them to spin with minimum glitching, there are 8 rtgs clipped inside, with 8-10 small reaction wheels, you part clip the decoupler which its mounted on out of the craft, and then you move the craft inside, then you switch to the propeller, and you force it to trim spin with alt-q or alt-e.

Warning, they are still glitchy. And never phys warp with them running.

Today i decided i would make a stock propeller plane

After finding that this design was good i kind of decided i wanted something heavier

So i made a dual propeller plane

Which works quite well
Specs:
Single propeller plane "Mjolnir-001":
Single stayputnik bearing engine (fairing style)
Max speed: 100m/s in level flight
                      200m/s in dive

Stall speed: 30m/s

Dual propeller plane "Mjolnir-002":
Dual stayputnik bearing engines (fairing style)
Max speed: 80m/s in level flight
                      150m/s in dive
Stall speed: 28m/s

Landing distance: 20m
Takeoff distance: ~30m

Today I attempted two moon landings in my RSS/RO testing range.

 

This probe ran out of fuel on the way down and slammed into the ground at 500m/s

Redesigned lander and it took way too long for a normal mission...

Today I went into my RSS/RO sandbox/testing save and decided to do a Lunar flyby.

My new rocket is called a Kosmos (Similar to but not exactly) like the Kosmos series of rockets. and can put around 2 tonnes in a polar orbit (including transfer stage for lunar flyby)

 

Kosmos-1 launcher on the pad.

Probe on flyby within sight of the moon.

Close flyby

End result was me crashing into a mountain due to a miscalculation in altitude.
