super lightweight 6 Ton Eve lander

[nuclear_turkey]

- mass upon take off from eve's surface is 5.995 tons (includes kerbal)
- the steep ascent was actually the only way i could get this into orbit, with it being lightweight its not very aerodynamic  what i gain in weight savings i almost lose due to drag.
- it can climb to just over 27km before firing the rockets, thats almost 4 times higher than the big mountain thats on eve.
- you have to constantly adjust the blade angle to juggle with the rotation speed of the blades in order to generate enough upthrust, how ever if they spin too fast the physics goes bananas and the prop will clip through and explode your craft.
- this took far too long 40+ minutes just to get to 20 km,which is why i started recording at 20+km, iv previously done a video showing my first iteration of an eve rocket copter that weighed 16 tons - here.
- iv been messing with a slimmed down version with better aerodynamics, it looks like its possible to break 5 tons. not sure yet however.

Now THAT is a new world record! Besides that glitch-ladder-thingy. Great job! How long did it take to fly the propeller part?
