Just thought I'd share the little stock ion lander I've been playing with recently...

There's some clipping with the fuel arrays because otherwise they are so fugly. 

It lands fine. Just deploy the airbrakes before de-orbit from 60km with a Pe of around 20km. Then deploy the 'chutes at about 200m/s. 

Takeoff is slightly restricted by the not-huge TWR, so best to fly vertically to 5km and then take a 60° turn to a 60km orbit. Should have around 600m/s left by orbit, enough for a rendezvous.
