KC-T3 Runabout VTOL SSTO

[barrenwaste]

This is one of my first forays into successful vtol sstos. The runabout is compact, fuel efficient, and capable of extended lko maneuvers. It is a bit finicky at around 15k to 20k meters, but it stabalizes fairly quickly and can easily reach an apoapsis of more than 130k without ever using it's rocket. during re-entry, when the chutes deploy, you may find yourself bum to the sky. If this happens tap w and s repeatedly until the nose rights itself. Also, this craft is meant to fly using SAS but not using RCS. It does come with RCS, however, this is intended for docking maneuvers rather than stability. If you choose to download and fly the Runabout, the handling instructions are in the ship description in your SPH, enjoy!

Looks a bit like my pod.

Don't worry, it's just convergence. It's going around a lot at the moment.
