Eve lander flipping over on reentry

Recommended Posts

i have the worlds first mission to land on eve and the one to plant a flag on eve as well

i spent hours reading multiple posts on varying different websites and trying out multiple different designs and after finding one that worked ok i added a 10m heat shield on the side closest to CoM but it flipped over i have tried everything from moving around the CoM to swapping the side the heat shield is on and i just cant figure out why it keeps flipping over

i cant figure out why the insert image from URL keeps showing as red so i will just put the link to the screen shot here https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198409027321/screenshot/2460738484202939217/

The big heat shields create a lot of drag, especially in Eve's thick atmosphere. Trying place a shield on each side of your craft to balance it out. 

thank you this works very well now i just have to figure out the decoupling without the kraken exploding me :)
