Tui - Light Athmo Dropship (Pre-Release)

[Cupcake...]

CRAFT FILES:

https://goo.gl/ziL7KR

NOTES:

Both single and duel seat models come with a half tank of gas which is plenty for having a little jolly round the KSC. Range can be extended by filling the side tanks to the brim although the duel seat model will be right on the thrust limit so allow for extra time at liftoff.

In order to save weight these craft aren't equipped with lights, however you can use the lights on the Kerbal's helmets by pressing L.

Both craft come with rocket assist which is used to counteract the lag from the jet and provide smooth control for touch downs as well as emergency power. The oxidiser supply for the rocket engine is limited and should be used sparingly.

On startup load your Kerbal(s) from the lander can(s), set full throttle, activate SAS and stage once to take off.

Hullcam VDS provides a very cool IVA view for any cockpit flyers out there.

 

CONTROLS:

1 - Toggle Jet Engine

2 - Toggle Rocket Assist

 

Enjoy!

That'd be a neat low gravity lander if it had an ion engine on it.

It should be doable but I like to make my ion landers extra, extra tiny!

Wow, I completely missed that one!

Looks like fun, I'll grab one tonight and treat my Kerbals to that cute little atmo convertible.

What does this design remind me of...

I like the open top, streamlined design.

Well, the Tui is a great pleasure to fly around! Great job, Cupcake, its a perfect little craft, as always. And its just hilarious to see the Kerbals heads sticking out like that... I like this way even better than your cargobay cockpits.

I am pretty used to the rocket assisted jet operation by now, it was easy enough to fly around and I could land wherever I wanted.

Thanks for sharing

I was going for cute, I see now I have failed.

Convertables are always better, because they just are.

I still am! I dont see myself putting that one down in a hurry. Somehow I like it better than the Mork/Mindy design. The heads sticking out are just hilarious. I installed KIS/KAS into my "atmospheric visuals" install just to take their helmets off... totally worth it. Take one BadS Kerbal and a regular scared one... plain hilarious.
