Flight with the cuttlefish& bigtrack

[shhhilent1]

I assembled a symple rocket with the cuttlefish and bigtrack, with a launch vehicle.

heres some landing pics:

I tried to board the cuttlefish at 20 M/S LOL! ;P

It\'ll be really nice when docking is implemented. That way, when you\'re done with the \'trak, you could park yourself back on the lander, dock, pack up, and launch back to dock with an orbiting transkerbal propulsion module.

I generally find the Cuttlefish cargo delivery system good. It is unwieldy on launch and requires extra efforts for stability. It cannot reliably house vehicles with long manipulator arms or even slightly unbalanced weight without etxra RSC . Yet it contains enough fuel to finalize the orbit (so leaves no spent stages in low orbit), burn to Mun and land there. And, of course, aside from this, I am very grateful to the author of the thing itself, regardless of how it handles. If it handled perfectly, btw, I wouldn\'t use it : )

Currently I am setting up a munar power plant, for the needs of a future base. The module in the middle (far) is the main battery, delivered separately. I plan to land another 2-4 Cuttlefishes around the main battery. In a more advanced version, they\'d be connected to it with cables. The loads will be modules for the base - I am learning how to move stuff around. In fact, one of the cuttlefishes I had to cart to the place from over 6 km. It slipped out of the claw only twice : ) My average speed with the truck you see here and the fish was about 10 m/s.

The BigTrak\'s puddlejumper pack has enough fuel to fly back from the Mun or Minmus.

Landing was a bit dicey back then, Nowadays you can slap a Mechjeb on it and autoland.

And if you use the cuttlefish as your first stage, you can land a BigTrak on the Mun from Kerbin.
