A Sarnus IB works as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plecy75 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've noticed a little problem with the Kane LES. It flexes and wobbles like hell during the gravity turn, and tends to destabilize the rocket. Every time I put the LES on the rocket, I've had to use it, but when I leave it off, the rocket flies fine. I'm pretty sure the LES for the real Apollo LES didn't destabilize the entire rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only suggestion would be to use kerbal joint reinforcement if you aren't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that the part is overly draggy but others are not noticing due to differences in craft design (e.g. they have fins / larger fins, so no flipping). In SSTU I had to manually adjust the drag on the LAS/BPC parts to prevent unwanted rocket flipping on certain designs (the SSTU LAS towers also use shielding/occlusion code to hide the drag of the command pod they are attached to). As a bonus it also results in better drag with the LAS installed than without it, so there is even a reason to use it in stock w/reverts/quicksaves/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltWolf Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 You have to auto strut the LES to the command pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
