My take on the space shuttle

[landfish2]

I feel like a lot of the shuttle replica's posted either rely on massive amounts of clipped in rcs or sas to function or are extremely difficult to control. My design utilises a number of mods to free the craft of such requirements and make it both more realistic and more usable.

Here is the list of mods and adjustments that allows this shuttle to function.

necessary:

[KW Rocketry](http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/51037-0-25-KW-Rocketry-v2-6d2-Available-0-25-Compatibility!-16-10-2014)

editing the config files of the mainsail engine found in 'gamedata, squad, parts, engines, mainsail' to allow for 10 degrees of gimballing instead of 1, 10 being a more realistic and useful value.

recommended:

[kerbal joint reinforcement](http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55657-0-90-Kerbal-Joint-Reinforcement-v3-1-2-3-26-15)

[throttle controlled avionics](http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/67270-Throttle-Controlled-Avionics-1-4-1-0-90-(5-January-15))

[stock part revamp (the bits to edit to allow more gimballing are in different places but idea is the same)](http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/92764-90-Stock-Part-Revamp-Update-1-7-2!)

I am new to the forums and this is my first thread post so suggestions, questions and feedback are welcomed (:
