Mission Log Earth Circumnavigation Challenge

[Lego8_bit]

hello my name is lego8_bit and today i recently decided to take part in the Elcano Challenge recently and i came up with this little lovely thing

AKA (THE DART MK1)

THIS IS A  MODDED ENTRY Using A stock chassis but with b9 areospace for the cockpit areo brakes, intakes, and engine cowling along with b9 adjustable wings for steering (forgot the actual name to it but its close XD)

top speed so far....

On land max speed: 135 m/s

on water max speed: 42.2 m/s

max fuel cap: 800 L of fuel

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current status: Out of fuel and waiting on a resupply drop. 

also  jeb here just  managed to stop a catastrophic flipping catastrophe when hitting a sharp bump going down hill full bore all he managed was to lose was a fin in the rear for steering left and right about a 50% decrease in response time and is currently waiting for fuel 

DAMAGE ASSESMENT:

that's all the damage the dart took after its tumble down the hill the rest of the way XD tough little speeder regardless of the damage it took. im gonna drive it until it cant drive no more in style >:) 

  

i will post my map latter tomorrow as its 2:00 am in the morning compiling all of this data together i can tell you that this little craft can go far on one fuel tank.

I like the name, "Circumvention" instead of "Circumnavigation".  There are delicious shades of meaning there

MISSION DAY 2: OPERATION SPEED SQUIRT IS A GO!

 

the tanker is planning on a rondevu with the land speeder hopefully we wont have any issues with the refueling mission as long as the speeder gets any fuel it will be a success as there is a refueling outpost up at the north pole that it will top up at.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*UPDATE* OPERATION SQUIRT WAS A FAILURE :/ due to the compact design of the land speeder and the not long enough stick to transfer fuel the damage was done now on one hand i had a revert on me witch i used because if i hadn't the land speeder would have been out of commission as the refuler destroyed the engine along with it own right side of its own engine was damaged in the process

Now i am doing it differently as i rebuild the refuler from scratch its going to be a drop rover design or in other words going to be transported by rocket  aka OPERATION DROP BOMB

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OPERATION DROP BOMB IS NOW ONLINE AD READY TO GO >:p wish me luck

operation DROP BOMB IS TILL IN PROGRESS AND WENT THOUGH 2 REDESIGNS AND I HAVE THE DESIGN DOWN JUST NEED TO TWEAK A FEW THINGS

[Lego8_bit]

operation DROP BOMB : Success

after 15 quick-saves and 3 rocket landing attempts XD

 

Jeb can now continue to the north pole to a refueling station to top up and make some headway for lost time
