Help Request

I made a SSTO that flies reasonably well, but a tester has reported that it can't turn well and the CoM was too far back. I tried reshuffling various modules (Lazor control systems in place of ASAS, avionics package) but that seemed to only make it worse ( it now shakes itself apart when I try to pull up). Could someone guide me on how to fix this craft.

i also tryed moving the Wing bits forward which moved the CoL but not the CoM.

Anyone?i could use the help?

Do you use any mods that might alter the lift and drag factors of the parts sir? :|

[Kerbal01]

No. Only the two mentioned in the thread.

It might be worth waiting a week or so... the new ASAS in version .21 might solve all of your problems!

[Kerbal01]

Yay!!

I'll try to have a go at the craft sir. . . I'll give you the results via PM.

My advise would be to not base your craft on the in-the-box rockets or planes. They do the job, but they're generally quite terrible at it.

Have you had a chance to look at it?

[Kerbal01]

Bump for help.

[crasher925]

you know bumbing's against the forum rules right...

anyway the ravenspear is famous for being a REALLY bad space plane you really should just resign your craft completely and make a totally different new one. (my planes are really good)
