[1.2.x] Kerbonov Kn-2 Cockpit Module

[Tankaa]

That Kn-2 cockpit is beautiful. Keep up the good work, Sam, I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

First landing with the new design...

Yeah... it is the hood ornament that makes this work.

Awesome VTOL!

[MaverickSawyer]

Nice! Other than KAS, what mods are in that? And can you share the craft file?

[RoboRay]

Thanks! It's got a couple of RemoteTech parts on it (which I can remove) along with the KAS stuff (the toolboxes are full of attachments and spare parts), but it's otherwise stock (except for the cockpit, of course).

The maiden voyage found a few design flaws I need to take care of, but I'll share it when it's fixed.

Looking forward to it! And yes, i woudl rather have it without remotetech parts.

By the way, it got scansat antenna too, if you are mentioning mods used.

Yeah, that's on it too. I always strip off any non-essential mod parts when distributing a craft file, so those will be gone.

When designing, I try not to use mod parts if there's a stock part available that will do the job, to make it easier to "sanitize" craft files.

PICS

Nice! Where did those floats come from?

Firespitter, newish dev version.

I remember some of these parts from a pack you had on the Something Awful forums long ago. Thank you for bringing them back and revising them.

[Djolox]

What you think about making the whole pack with airplane/spaceplane parts because they are AWESOME some more russian style cockpits and new engines(maybe from boeing737 cfm)

Barlin Kerman is enjoying your new cockpit.

I just added rep to you for an awesome design. There's not one bit of wasted space on that craft! I love it!

Ok, I finally got the kinks worked out of my Mun lander design...

I had to remove a little fuel because I was getting flow-control issues, but it's still got enough for a Mun-landing with a reasonable 25% safety margin.

This cockpit looks really great, and awesome IVA too!

[RoboRay]

And now for something completely different...

A tilt-rotor crew recovery/rescue/transport vehicle.

It cruises at 150m/sec at 1500m, and faster as you go higher. I haven't explored the range yet, but there's plenty of room for more drop-tanks, if need be.

That would have been cool, but nope! Haven't figured out how to make the fins both fold and act as control surfaces yet. I'm afraid it might involve some sort of .dll sorcery that's way beyond a simple blendermonkey.

Couldn't you just use the lander leg type animation programming? Make it so the wing works in folded and unfolded aerodynamically, that way it'd be less difficult to deal with...I'd assume.

[User Unrelated]

Glad I found this! (I saw Roboray's lander and absolutely needed to find the control pod)

I've been using the Mk-whatever inline plane pod for some of my landers recently, because the landers are also doubling as satellite launchers, and need a flat top.

This is 500x better, and actually has an (awesome) IVA!

[Sentmassen]

HA!, love it. Looks like a Buffalo

This thing demands wheels.

[RoboRay]

Uh... yeah... I tried that but things didn't go well.

If you want wheels, install them yourself!

[Naten]

Nice! I'm not a spaceplane fan, [...]

:/

Your profile pic is a spaceplane.

Anyways, it's so cute! I had to tell my mom it's so cute it's so cute, and I squeed when I saw the little living quarters! I love that kind'a' thing!

[Vladthemad]

Ok so what do those fancy waffle fins do exactly??
