http://www.space.com/26529-experimental-military-space-plane-designs.html?cmpid=514630_20140719_28084816 So basically...what the community does all the time anyway.
In my drone's current configuration i got it up to 6,300 feet and 920 mph before it started wobbling more than i could handle. I'll work on modifying the design tonight and post the results.
I prefer to build drones as i feel a bit..guilty about the amount of Kerbals that die when i try and build things. Also, if you wish i can record the video again and save in a higher quality.
I find this happens a lot, it doesn't matter if i have a propeller driven aircraft or a jet engined aircraft, when in flight with SAS mode on, the aircraft wobbles and falls out of the sky a few seconds later.
My latest spaceplane attempt saw the plane brake up on landing and the cockpit, which is the spacestation cupola window break off and go rolling away like a lost hubcap.
Just wondering are there any mods out there which add mecha legs to the game? just thinking it would be an interesting alternative to wheels? I think i saw a mod that gives you tank treads to use but i'd like to be able to create a 2,4,6 or 8 legged mech to crawl around on the mun.
Perfect, now i can build an entire spacestation in my hangar and hyperedit it into orbit. Mind you, i'm on a mac, so i don't have numpad, but i can still make the * symbol.
I built a test prototype of a triple heavy engined rocket with an enormous fuel tank. I set the engine to full throttle on the pad and the rocket exploded. It took me a further 5 relaunches to realise it was the engine throttle settings at launch.
