Project Armadillo

Ok, what I originally planned to do was building a shuttle like design to carry this folding space plane:

It\'s not as small as other projects here one the forums but works without cfg editing.

Showed up that a hangar bay for this craft gets really big and thrust vectoring was a problem too.

First testflight with liquid boosters was a full success.

Despite my poor piloting skills I somewhat managed to land nearly undamaged at the KSC.

One problem with the carrier craft is still left: I installed a mechjeb because I wanted to deorbit the carrier as an unmanned vessel but the engines won\'t fire and the fuel tanks say they are full ???

Mods used for the Armadillo:

Novapunch 1.2

Damned Robotics 1.2

Mechjeb 1.8.4

Bace 0.3

u know, u can build a more compact plane if u don\'t focus around delta wings so much. my folder has an atmospheric drop ship which drops my plane basically anywhere.
