Have you done voyagerish flyby only missions?

In theory all of them with timing, some clever steering, and of course slight burns here and there.

 

Figuring them out before hand though is a whole other can of worms.

I made a MOD request thread years ago asking for help to do this and I don't think it got much interest.

You've basically got to figure out what transfer windows are open at your destination on the time you get there. It's more complicated than that though. I don't know how that guy did it for NASA before voyager was even a mission concept.

A LOT of math. The calculations, AFAIK, are actually fairly straightforward, the problem is that you need to redo the entire chain for a minor course correction.
