Reported Version: v0.1.4 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes

Steps to Replicate:

 

1. Load RetroGradeLegKickTestSave.json
2. Wait for after the Sea level altitude hits 23316 (Local Space or when orbital decay starts)
3. Decouple the craft with no landing legs
4. Note Orbit of craft with no landing legs
5. Change to craft with landing legs
6. Note Orbit of craft with landing legs.

Results:

• Craft's orbit with no landing legs is about the same as it was before undocking
• Craft's orbit with landing legs is suddenly in a suborbital trajectory
