VTOL-ic Challenge

[jgjiscool]

Ok. Bill, Jeb and Bob have been testing a new aircraft called <insert your choice of name here> and something has gone terribly wrong!

YOUR MISSION,

should you choose to accept it is to:

[list type=decimal]

[li]Build a craft capable of flying using only vanilla and C7Studios parts[/li]

[li]MAKE ONE SIDE OF THE CRAFT UNBALANCED[/li]

[li]Fly it to anywhere off the KSP plateu[/li]

[li]Land safely[/li]

Can you do it? Credit for ground landing. Extra credit for no advanced SAS. Extra extra credit for distance.

If you want to become REALLY famous, fly it back and land it too!*

*Landing must be on the KSP plateu.

Hmmm, haven\'t ever done this challange intentionally. I have, however, experience many a 'oh shit, the wingtip hit a mountain, time to try flying with a wing missing' landing attempts and occasionally successes.

All you have to do now is take a screenshot. This is theoretically easier now that we have the RCS thrusters. Just don\'t run out of RCS fuel...

Flight of the Phoenix style.

All you have to do is break another wing and it becomes easy again. Or don\'t hit that mountain that I purposely put in your way...

So I could make a craft with one wing and fly it around and I have to it land safely?

Haha, I had an accident with my second VTOL craft that ended up with one side having its delta ripped off, but it was still flying quite well because it was damn huge so I landed it Gene Keranz style. No pics though...

Ahem *radical decouple-rs holding your wing on* that should help. ;D

That\'s pretty much the idea. Though, yeah you could radial decouple one wing then land. Whichever you prefer.
