HC-Strato Mk. II

For those who know, lately I have been inactive in both ksp and on the forums, particularly just checking in every few days. This week, I decided to give the game another go, made a couple good crafts and one of them just so happened to be a little tiny VTOL... so small I call it a drone! Packed with two Juno engines and weighing in just over 3.3 tons, this VTOL has a TWR of around 1.3 however, it's not all that bad as it sounds. It accelerates at 3.75 m/s vertically, that being said, you can recover from a fall fairly easily, as long as your engine is reaching it's thrust cap between 15 - 20 Kn per engine. *There is enough SAS to make slight or life-threatening adjustments in a fraction of a second. All of this in a tiny package, ready for flight!

Also, you can check out this video in which showcases the VTOL's mobility as well!

This new system forum.... still getting used to this....

 

Download yours today!

*SAS is reccomened to be used especially for beginning VTOL pilots and even for experience. Failure to do say may be Kerbal threatening.

Love the tilt shift on the photos, I need something like that to land on my mining rig (thats about all there is space for).

Thanks, I've decided to do photo editing on all my craft releases.... though I am a bit bother by IPS4's auto embedding and such. I have yet to learn the new way of doing videos... its no longer the video and /video trick... anyone know?

Love the cockpit struts, looks like a roll cage for those less-than-optimal VTOL landings :D

I ditched the whole landing gear for this craft, so its a must to go under 6 meters per second when landing. Through all the testing and crashes, the kerbal survives almost all the time because everything else explodes.... leaving you with the kerbal. Roll cage confirms work done.
