Sector 7 Space Laboratories VTOL Division - Defiance

[Castille7]

The craft was assembled with 24 Whiplash Engines, 6 Ram Air Intakes, 2 ISRU Converters, 2 Large Holding Tanks, 14 Fuel Cell Arrays, 2 Mining Excavators & 2 Engine Pre-

Coolers. The man hours envolved in Fabrication left us with small amounts of funding for the advertizing department. We would like to have elaborated more on the features and capabilities of the craft like how much Ore can be taken aboard and still manage a liftoff, can it circumnavigate Kerbin etc..... these answers are left up to the Pilots that enjoy KSP VTOL crafts.

Flight Operations:

Engage RCS and SAS, throttle up to full then press spacebar for the Lift Engines to engage and a second time for the Port, Starboard and Rear Engines to engage after leaving ground level. When Landing use the downward thrusters to help control your descent.

Note: Use at least one pilot to control the craft the remote control will not give correct control, most all of our Dropships and VTOL crafts are designed this way.

Defiance - A Jebediah Junkyard Version

This craft needs help from takeoff! The Craft Design was denied production by Sector 7 Industries but allowed the Prototype to be flown only by Expert Kerman Pilots.

During flight the engines will at times starve for air, spit and spudder only some of the reasons it was denied reproduction at Manufacturing but left for your enjoyment.

(No Warranties, Fly at Your Own Risk).

Flight Operations:

Engage RCS and SAS, throttle up to full then press spacebar for the Lift Engines to engage and a second time for the Port, Starboard and Rear Engines to engage after leaving ground level. When Landing use the downward thrusters to help control your descent.

Note: You will need to use the downward thrusters for the craft to liftoff, did I say Junkyard Version? Also it is a real balancing act to steady the craft but once it is steady and level it will hold steady after reaching about 50 m/s, did I say Expert Pilots?
