hmmm... i made a new propeller that is more reliable, but longer, and i'm trying to get it to redock but i just cant figure out how any suggestions?

hmmm.... check this out:

Has science gone too far? IT CERTAINLY HAS

Here we go, lets give this a shot Oh. Oh My. So that's what happens when physics tries to load it after unloading it...

if you'll excuse my profanity... HELL YEA BRO I DID IT It's far from perfect BUT IT WORKS and yet.. I still forget to bring a ladder.

also.... My next big thing is the biggest thing yet...

Thanks for the suggestions and the modifications! I think that the main problem was my custom engine, because it was made on the spot so it probably wasn't tuned, like at all.

ha but yeah, it uses only 2 stayputniks, one on each side, with some generators in the middle. i think it needs remodeling though...

it's probably a lot more rudimentary than the one that i've seen elsewhere, also it was made from scratch, so a little less well tuned

SO CLOSE

it started out with three, and I increased it to four and then down to 2, but with little to no effect... I tried to increase the wingspan after seeing the goliath sized wings that propeller planes seem to need in ksp, but it still won't take off... and I did increase the pitch a little, but i don't really know where it should be :/ I appreciate the help though (also working on a new propeller plane, going to be a large scale cargo craft)

Hey guys! So I saw a few videos a while ago about electric propellers, and have been trying to make one ever since, but to no avail. Here is my current prototype. If someone could try and mess around with it a little I would appreciate it a lot it uses a combination stayputnik and thermometer hinge for the propeller, with a custom housing that i put together it has a sad top speed of 20 m/s, and no matter what i do i can't get it to go any faster! please help! https://www.dropbox.com/s/3qt82nzrkooes5p/ahdunno more propellers.craft?dl=0 btw it also has a cargo bay and a bomb just because i wanted it to (press 1 for the cargo bay, 2 for the bomb)

Gotcha, thanks! I'll tell you how it goes! so far, it seems as though this might be a breakthrough for tiny propeller planes everywhere

Any suggestions as to how to do that?

Hey, i need some help with something... So I wanted to make a cool little biplane, but the problem is, i'm having trouble with the prop :/ it should be working, as in it's using SAS force (much more reliable than a turboprop), but all i can get is ~10 m/s. :/ Here's the craft file and some images, and any help would be appreciated! Link to plane here

Just a note, i did modify it to try and make it fuel powered.. it didn't end well :/ I'll unmodify it and send it over! I do think though that these bearings will open up the stage for some propeller powered stuff, seeing as they are surprisingly good at keeping propellers stable... -Edit- Here it is: Click here keep the throttle at half when launching, otherwise the propellers will break... :/ it's also pretty much impossible to control so be aware of that. Other than that, just get the kerbal in the seat and press space twice!

Alright, I think i've done it in terms of tiny helicopters... I present: The Mythbreaker! Based off of the mythbusters helipack, it can fly! Mind you, it is still in heavy dev, and can't fly without infinite fuel... but it flies on propellers alone! and it uses your great bearing, majorjim! it's surprising how well it works... Just ask if you want the file, although i did make some changes, attempting to make it work off of fuel but it didn't work :/ Most of the craft is still there and usable though, so feel free to tinker with it.

Micro biplane: Craft file. X-04 quad mech: just the Craft, or the Craft and the launcher. M-12 Preliminator SSTO: here. Micro glider: here That should be it...

I can try... where should I put it? just in a reply?

So... Hello everyone! I have been working with scanner bearings for a little bit now, and just wanted to show this off. As the name of the thread suggests, it can break rather easily, but it can do what it was made to do! I proudly present: The X-04 Quad Mech! Completely stock, and armed with 4 legs, it can traverse the most difficult terrain! The view from inside is unblocked as well, so you can pilot it from inside the craft! It uses 2 Scanner bearings to power it, plus some others to keep the legs straight. It also comes with 2 sets of solar panels to keep it going, although the engine itself doesn't need power. I was able to get it to the moon with a launcher that i built, which you can download as well as just the craft. So; Have fun! just the Craft, or the Craft and the launcher. 1 to toggle leg movement (Important: only activate after cargo bay doors are open) 2 to toggle bay doors and solar panels

I also made a cool little biplane to play around with, nothing much but a lot of fun and heres the Craft file.

ok, new stuff! I proudly present: The X-04 Quad Mech! With 4 legs, it can traverse most difficult terrain! The view from inside is unblocked as well, so you can pilot it from inside the craft!

alright, and if you want me to do something with the server just ask, ok?

Alright, so I started a DMP Server! The ip is 67.166.10.39 so head there if you want to play around on a server!
