Non-Powered 1-man crewd Glider!

[rkfnql322]

Hello, my name is Sakyamoney form Korean KSP Forum also Known as rkfnql322(Yeap, must be ridiculous in other language ).

And this is my first posting so if I have some problem posting, please excuse and tell me.

Anyway, reason I signed up here is to post my new, Non-Powered, One man crewed Glider SIGLIDER-1.(Name from PSY. GANGNAMSTYLE!)

Well, Then here goes some picture of it.

I hope you like this design. The wing is made with high-accuracy to prevent any drift.

And.. fecklessly it has a lot of lazor system which I added to make the glider looks like real aircraft.(I mean the lights blinks over the airplane.)

If you want, I will re-release stock glider soon. Since it's designed with high accuracy, It can fly sticked for a quite long time.

However, I havn't tried long flight, I'm conducting on long flight, from KSC to KSC2.

However with Lazor mode, I could let glider fly to KSC2 himself,while I'm posting this.

It's flying himself, I gave controll to lazor system 30minutes ago.

The picture is taken when 12 minutes passed.

Actually This glider works with error on Aerodynamic model of KSP.hmm. I can't sure it will work same after the updates.

However, It's weight center and lift center is arranged well, so somehow it can work after the patch.

Specify information for this aircraft is like below.

"STOCK(VANILA) GLIDER[29parts]"

HOW TO TAKE OFF(really important)

This is perfectlly non powered, so it's hard to take off without knowing how-to.

1.Start the simulater, if your speed is not totally zero, press 'S' for a while.

2.If your speed is zero, raise geers and Lower it.

3.When speed reaches to 15, controll pressing 'S' not to take off before speed reaches 20m/s.

4.After reaching 20, take off and give a 30 degrees of Roll to any side and press S.

5.Carefully higher the altimiter, and when you reaches appripriate altimiter, give a 90 degrees of roll and press S for a while. Glider will reach 200m/s.

6.After acceleration, stabillize your glider, and from now on, You may turn on the SAS. It will higly stabilize the glider.

You know what, this was prototype of siglider, higlider.

While posting, my Siglider crossed the sea, and approaching KSC2. Flying over 50 minutes, real time.

After 1-hour flight I visited KSC2!!! LOL

Your images are not loading in your post, most likely because the links are badly formatted. I can view the images by right-clicking on the placeholders and copying the URL, but the forums apparently don't like those addresses. Do they have the "http://" in front of them?

EDIT:

Hmmm... just tried pasting the copied URL in, and it works until I refresh the page. Looks like there's an issue with your chosen image host, because after I submitted THIS post with the copied URL, that same image loaded in your post too, UNTIL I refreshed the page again, at which point even the one in my post was again broken.

May I suggest something a bit more proven like http://imgur.com?

Hmm i dont see your picture either. Could it be the problem of forum??

It could very well be a problem with the forum host's connectivity to that particular image host.

The fact that after I copied the URL for one of your images into my reply, after which BOTH instances of that image showed up in your original post AND my reply, UNTIL I refreshed the page, says that maybe we were both able to see the images until the browser cache got updated by refreshing.

I suspect maybe the image host you're using doesn't respond well to having more than a limited number of images called from a particular user at one time. Maybe it's their method of keeping traffic loads to a bearable rate?

Anyway, give imgur a try to see if it helps out. If the image links work from there, you'll have fixed the problem. Also, Imgur offers a really handy BBCode copy option for images loaded there, so it's as simple as uploading the image, then clicking the Copy icon on the line containing the ready-to-post BBCode-wrapped link.

Nice to see another South Korean player

Well, as suggested, I recommend using Imgur as it provides simple yet functional image hosting service.

Also, your craft link appears to be broken too. Just use Mediafire, Google Drive or more preferably, Spaceport!

[rkfnql322]

Thanks. With your help, I could fix every errors. I replaced all pictures with imgur.

Now the file download will also work. Thanks again. :):)

[Deadweasel]

Woohoo! Looks much better, and yes I can verify the download link works too. Good job!

Now I'm going to go play with this little devil and see how it does.
