Okay, bad wording on my part. What I meant was instability. At least that\'s what I so far experienced with most of my winged rockets, especially when turning to get orbiting ...I really shouldn\'t reply casually while doing other things in the house... ...too scatterbrained for that :S

Of course. But with that many wings, it\'s bound to roll a lot during earlier stages. ASAS doesn\'t compensate that all too well with just the command pod\'s SAS and a few, if any, control surfaces.

Dosn\'t look too shabby. If I may ask though: where\'s the SAS? All I can see is ASAS and RCS... I can\'t imagine that being very stable.

Can\'t see the video, unfortunately, GEMA has it blocked. D: Will give it a try anyway... A few pictures might be nice, though.

Thank you both. I\'m also working on a second version, resolving the ... erm \'burning tail\' issue and adding droptanks: twice the range, double the fun. Made an east and a west trip across the sea (with fuel to spare) in the prototype already

Just took this contraption for a spin. It was epic. Blew up a few times trying to get moving, but once you get a hang of it, it\'s quite simple. Fair warning though, don\'t try aerobatics... ends very badly...

I thought I might share this: The new Pegasus v2: Is it a Jet? Is it a glider? It\'s a twin-turbojet powered quadplane! Wether it\'s lazyly gliding above the treetops at 30 m/s or speeding at 527+ m/s at 15 km altitude, this thing can do it all. Started out as a design for a recon/exploration craft, then took a turn towards almost mach 2 jet somewhere along the line... I have no idea how -or when-, but I like it! //aditional info: -The lowest thrust is enough to climb and do basic maneuvers. I actually haven\'t yet tested for max range, due to just how damn long this thing stays in the air. -Going ~15 m/s during a landing attempt, I managed to climb back up about fifty to about a hundred metres, so determining minimum glide speed is very difficult. (Though I can tell, it\'s very slow ) Flight tips: -for stability, keeping SAS on is recommended but not necessary. -start with full/high throttle, else the exhaust burns away one, or both, rearwings for whatever reason... [resolved in v2] -don\'t attempt to glide in thinner atmosphere, I haven\'t managed to get out of the inevitable stall during my testflights. -for all her gliding capabilities, she\'s a pain to brake: use the rcs, that\'s it\'s sole purpose. [v2: added 4 parachutes] Improvements and specifications in V2: -added two pairs of parachutes for braking if landingzone is small -added three droptanks to the bottom, functioning as landing gear as well, allthough stability on the ground is severly decreased. -dropping them off before landing is advisable. --> Due to this, the stage layout for the braking parachutes is: droptanks -> parachute pair I -> parachute pair II (change on your own risk.) Enjoy!
