"Decoupler-based suspension"?


Recommended Posts

I've seen it mentioned but never seen an example. I've done forum searches, advanced and normal, to no avail. Anyone care to explain how a "decoupler-based suspension" works, and how to build one? Put the wheels on decouplers? What kind of decouplers? Please post pics... I want to create this insane stunt spacecraft, but it needs a very good suspension to... well, if it works, you'll see :P

I don't know that there's anything special about decouplers other than that they're lightweight and easy to attach. I've had some fun using Linear RCS Ports as springs, because they are surface-mountable and very, very small. A stack of some (~5) of them is very very (even problematically) springy, and even looks a little like a spring.
