Deadweasel Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah, aircrafts with lots of reaction wheels are fun to fly.Some earlier pictures, was testing the concept with this hasily built plane. You don't have to have control surfaces when you have that much reaction wheel.Gotta experiment with the placement and number of the reaction wheels for a bit.Actually, I had no idea they had a cumulative effect like that. Now I've got a whole fleet to mod further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Rogue Ace Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 No, it wasn't a mod. Trust me, my computer can't handle mods at all.WOW, how crappy is your computer? Mine, I can't see much of anything because of my RAM is too low, but I can still have mods and all that, just takes a long time to launch the game.

Part mods like Kosmos and Mechjeb work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BahamutoD Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The "Mosquito" Kethane extractor probe.It's designed to land on the moon, fill up on kethane and convert some fuel to return to the space station. The vertical rockets are on adjustable rails to fix the CoT when the kethane sac gets full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Xeno Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Oh, space. So beautiful. However, on this day, rookie captain Herrim Kerman was left in charge of the now out-of-date Perseus Space Station, waiting for the primary crew to return to the ship with an extra escape pod and a fuel tank to refuel the ship with for automatic de-orbiting. However, danger was on the horizon. The Perseus was on a collision course with the new Icarus Station, which was recently put into orbit. Herrim decided to do the only thing he could do. He used the old engines to de-orbit manually, even though he had no escape pod to go into. As the Perseus drifted along, with its periapsis slowly drifting into Kerbin's atmosphere, Herrim radioed Mission Control. He told them that he would be dead, but the 5 Kerbalnauts aboard the Icarus would be saved. As the engine ran out of fuel, he could only watch from the capsule as his ship lowered into the atmosphere.Oh Herrim. So brave, yet so stupid. The young explorer had always wanted to go into space, and to be a hero. To do both as his last actions was a dream come true. However, has Mission Control recorded his last EVA, they just thought he was showing off. Sure, it started off as a joke between him and Jebediah about who would be the first to survive atmospheric re-entry without being inside a ship, but he still wanted to make it happen.As the story spread across the world, people pointed their telescopes to the skies. This image, taken by Jebediah while back at Mission Control, shows the solar panels being ripped off from the ship during re-entry.As the ship decreased in speed, Herrim was torn off from the rest of the capsule. The very suit keeping him safe from depressurization was melting around him from the friction.The sun blinded him as he sped through the atmosphere like a living bullet. The only way this could be worse is if the Space Kraken himself was attacking him.He finally slowed down, and the friction stopped. The whistling of the wind flowing past his helmet was the only thing he could hear. The last words recorded from his helmet-mic were captured by Mission Control just before splashdown.Here am I falling in my tin can, last glimpse of the world. Planet Kerbin is blue, and there's nothing left to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automcdonough Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You inspired me to see what CMGs were capable of in aircraft. This thing was ridiculous. I could do a 360 spin about any axis, including yaw, in less than 2 seconds, and recover instantly. You can do anything with it over about 150m AGL and have room to recover. You can do most manoeuvres within 50m, but it can get a bit sketchy. The gyros tend to cushion the impact well too, so only a small few of the crashes have been fatal.funny thing, i had just considered something like this for SSTO because my craft tends to lose control when atmosphere thins out and control surfaces don't do enough anymore.
