What's KAX?

I'd like to build something similar to the V-22 Osprey or a Quadcopter drone.

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.

Didn't figure out how to get a VTOL up and flying.

reaction wheels i assume?

Well, i told FAR to put the speed into Miles Per Hour so i'd have a small chance of figuring out how fast i was moving.

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.

Ah, that used to happen to me before I installed FAR too, even with a propeller driven drone.

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 don't play very often, in fact i lurk more in the mods forum than i post.

Vanilla SAS, I can't understand what i should be doing with Mechjeb so i should probably get rid of it.

I'll post a screenshot in the morning. I've recently started using FAR, is it overkill to have Mechjeb too?

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.

Where do i find the parts? I can only seem to find the cockpit.

Has anyone had any luck building drone type quadcopters in KSP?

I want to use KAS to create a VTOL cargo carrier, but the huge mass of menu options confuses me.

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.

How do i find and harvest resources?

Cool, i'll have a go at building one.

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.

I think i win?

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.

Thanks, i play in sandbox mode so i guess i've just missed it

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.

So did anyone ever figure out a good way to build a submarine?
