Sudden wing ejection when back from Space Center


Recommended Posts

I made a craft I was pretty proud of, it was supposed to be the backbone of my charter fleet. 

It works perfectly, it has got range, it is easy to pilot, it can reenter... Just minimum clipping actually but indeed I moved the wings with the SPH gizmos.

 

The problem is that whenever I am already in orbit if I get back to the space center to arrange for another launch or any other KSC related activity and then I try to fly again the craft, the outer section of the wings gets ejected.

Pics below, the issue is depicted in the fourth one. Has anybody experienced such an issue before? 

To me sounds like a clipping issue, but even if I tried to move everything I could not find the guilty part. 

 

If anybody feels like to have a first hand look, here you can download the craft; it is full stock.

To reach orbit just pitch 5° at take off (1 to toggle the ramjets) and keep it straight. Add nukes at 19000 pressing 3. Jets will go out just a little bit over 24000, toggle intakes with 2.

There isn't any external fuel line to save on drag so you will need to move the fuel manually from the wings to the inner tanks to feed the nukes.

I do not have any "major" mod installed, just a few for aestethics and mechjeb.

 

I am not even sure this is the right section where to post this, I apologize if I made the wrong choice.

 

Thank you in advance for any feed back on this.

Umm, it looks like you have the set of the big wings that you are losing clipped inside another set. Not terribly realistic and could be why its throwing a wobbly. 

Flying the "romantic bat version" right now to check if this is the case.

I made a few more experiments and turns out it was not a wing related issue but it depends on the physics suddenly acting on the undeployed landing gear clipping through two different wings. 

It was ejecting the gears that unluckily where strapped to the outer wings.
