So i made a new design. It gets a full single glider to orbit. 6950dv in a 80x70km orbit.

I landed on minmus. I have 4,300 dv left where do i go now? I'm sure there is a more efficient ascent profile than what i did https://www.dropbox.com/s/xh0r1l5t2x62shx/better%20ion.craft

Anyone know the weight of the empty ion tanks?

I didn't originally share my flight on here, Lazro linked my post on reddit. I found this challenge after.

Also keep your cog and col as close as possible at all stages of flight. If you have drop tanks they should be on the cog

The key to reaching high altitude is using sas for control and keeping your horizontal airspeed up so you can continue to get lift. If your plane can't fly on sas alone then you will have a hard time flying at high altitude.

The wing surfaces were disabled

im working on an eve lander right now. will report back

With the minimum parachute weight being .1, it is hard to justify adding a parachute to a small drone instead of just retro burning to land. I think adding a small, lower drag parachute would really help with drone buidling!

I had a mishap trying to land my rescue ship and lost about 1k delta v trying to put her down. Jeb hopped on and now i only have 950 delta v to get back to kerbin!! Any tips?
