Perfect! Thank you

Hi, can anyone make a part or mod that gives us a giant space coilgun? I want to be able to accelerate or decelerate other spacecraft, using only electricity! The utility of such a thing would be endless and it would give the ability to go around the solar system using no fuel at all! Here is an example: imagine that you had one big coilgun attached to a space station orbiting kerbin and one orbiting mun. From kerbin, you can propel a light spacecraft and put it into a transfer trajectory to the moon. The coilgun will slow down of course, but since it's much more massive than the spacecraft being propelled, it's speed will not change much, meaning it will remain in orbit. Now the spacecraft meets with the coilgun that is orbiting the moon and the coilgun decelerates it, taking all of it's energy. The spacecraft will now fall vertically towards the moon and will only need fuel for the landing. The coilgun will of course gain speed, but since it's massive, it will remain in orbit around the moon. Now when the spacecraft wants to return to kerbin, it needs only enough fuel to reach the periapsis of the coilgun, after which the coilgun gives back the original kinetic energy and the spacecraft is now on an escape trajectory. The coilgun returns to it's original orbit due to the transfer of energy. The spacecraft meets with the coilgun orbiting kerbin and then after a violent exchange of energy, their speeds will be the same and back to the starting orbit. If one puts such a coilgun on another planet, it will be possible to go between that planet and kerbin, for free! I imagine the coilgun to be a very long tube with electromagnets attached radially all over it. Of course the only problem will be very precise maneuvering, penalty the complete destruction of both the coilgun and the spacecraft Btw let's not forget that it's possible to steal energy from the moon by doing slingshots around it and then store the energy into a space station (until the moon starts to enter kerbin's atmosphere...)

Are you putting winglets on an upper, light stage? If you do, it will make your rocket massively unstable. No matter how big the rocket is, you should be able to keep it stable using 1 Advanced SAS with 3 AV-R8 Winglets as far to the bottom as possible. If you use gimballing engines, you shouldn\'t even need winglets. Btw don\'t forget that winglets have the massive benefit of providing lift.
