NOTES

Twin Jet engines are restricted to 50% and she’s perfectly controllable with that power restriction. I found that going much higher will cause her to nose up and flip, despite the number of reaction wheels I’ve squeezed in to the design. Increase that level at your own risk!

Use SAS to keep her under control.

Lots of part clipping; extending/retracting landing gear will cause a quick jump but nothing catastrophic. Advisable to turn on SAS and retract gear before take-off. For landing, extend gear well before ground just in case the jump screws you over.

Has RCS jets for fine translation.

There's a Docking Port Jnr under the tail for connecting up a refueling tanker or whatever.

Have fun!

Hi Mad Rocket Scientist, thanks for the rep!

No Kerbal Paint, this is completely stock! I got the black colour by creative placement of a copious amount of NCS adapters

[CitizenAerospace]

Very nice, creative use of the NCS adapters

Very nice replica, whoshotdk! And I like how you painted it with nose adapters with a low partcount
