And our last meeting with Munley in the Titan hunter mk3

and our first meeting with Munley in his new toy.

The Jet ATV Elcano

350+kmh over rough terrain

10km of IVA

Description:

This craft is capable of over 350km/h on rough terrain (200ishkm/h reliably) and 200km/h reliably on water, it carries enough fuel for the long journey and is durable enough to keep going over the tough obstacles like mountains and cliffs, at low speeds below 30m/s it is very maneuverable for its size.

Driving instructions:

On even terrain full throttle can be used at anytime without a worry, on mildly rough terrain SAS can be activated and you can let go of all controls and let cruise control take you where you need to go, if you are game full throttle can be used on some rough terrain but be warned 100m/s downward impacts will cause explosions and the slightest adjustment on the controls can send it into a death roll, Good luck and have fun.

Action groups:

1- Toggle jet engines

2- Toggle lights

3- Toggle ladders

4- Toggle solar panels

But wait there is more, The Jet ATV carries a lot of fuel, but its not enough to get all the way around kerbin, thats why it needs a support vehicle and need to look no further than the Elcano fuel hauler

Description:

Built for one purpose and that purpose is refueling the Jet ATV (and possibly other craft its not picky)

Capable of a cruising speed of 1500m/s at 25km this plane will get fuel where you need it fast.

Flight instructions:

On take off you will need to clear the runway due to the low design of the plane (for compatibility purposes) after that the plane is quite an easy plane to fly, pitch up to 30 degree with SAS on and climb to 20kmand a cruising speed of 1500m/s, as a warning do not exceed 28km as you will go into an almost unrecoverable stall.

Cool stuff, the suspension on the rover itself is really impressive! Good luck completing the challenge!
