'Lil Stanker | Simple Tanker | Mk Ib | MechJeb

[Kosmic Debris]

Unlike the very cool designs typically posted here, this is a very simple tanker to put a full Jumbo-64 and two FL-R1 tanks in 80km orbit with no debris. I find it to be dead reliable; I typically have 6 of these docked at my space station with a few more in orbit.

Flight Profile

- Press "1" twice before takeoff to ensure asparagus stage engine gimbals are locked.

- Manage throttle carefully for Mainsail overheat.

- Press "2" on orbit to open docking port shield and turn on docking light.

- If you achieve orbit without final staging, point prograde and stage to ensure the lower stage deorbits.

I welcome feedback for tweaks and tuning!
