Reliant Robin Space Shuttle

[Yukon0009]

(img by Starwhip)

The title pretty much says it all, it's a stock Reliant Robin shuttle. Surprisingly easy to fly.

Fly with RCS and SAS on- it flies and drives like a drunken brick, no different from the 0.90 version. Slightly less ugly.

It has some... unique aerodynamics due to the use of flaps as panels. To land it, simply let it flip out of control until it hits about 15m/s and fairly low, then use stability control to make it point prograde and try to land it.

old 0.90 version

Fly with RCS and SAS on. (duh)

Also, the rapier does not need to be active at all time- I recommend that you switch it off after G-turn.

Yes, it does fly (and separate, unlike the original) but it flies like a drunken brick......Oh, and no hidden control surfaces there, I promise!

PICS:

(despite the last pic, the Robin is landable.)

Enjoy!

It was supposed to be a Poodle, but it didn't have enough TWR to keep going after that.

That was a really good episode. Those british fellows built a -really- impressive rocket imho.

[PlonioFludrasco]

I rememdered that when I saw that episode for the first time, I watched it again and then opened KSP to replicate!

[Majorjim!]

This is hilarious and brilliant! I've been waiting for someone to make one of these. Good job man!

[WhiteKnuckle]

I think the important question is: How does it drive?

If it doesn't tip over every time you make a turn going more than 5m/s then I think you should go back to the drawing board.

And now I'm laughing uncontrollably because I imagined landing it on Minimus and rolling it over... and over and over and over and over....

[clarkson]Oh No![/clarkson]

The impressive thing is that, in that episode, it almost really worked!

Hence the "Doods". Well done to both of you.

[Yukon0009]

Acutally, I'd like you guys to suggest which random replica I should build next.

Hm......Yes.
