Thats a great idea - it will save time if I can test the decouplers on the launch pad. As far as I know, I'm attaching the tanks to the decouplers; however, it can be difficult to know exactly where the tanks are in relation to the decouplers. Thanks to everyone for all the great advice. This is my first post on the forums, and it's great that there are so many folks out there who are willing to help us rookie space cadets!

I have been trying to use the radial decouplers on my ship; however, I cannot get them to work. Every time I activate them in staging, the spent tanks won't separate from the main ship. I have moved them around to various places on the ship, with the same effect. What's the secret to installing these things correctly?
