GusTurbo Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks!Final Version:https://www./?fg03m2gtrx37147http://i.imgur.com/yFNpUJU.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/3lTtpIx.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/PEklhfn.jpgThat's really awesome. Mine is impractically large and heavy, but that looks right on the money. One issue I couldn't really get around was crew capacity. The real thing is supposed to carry up to 7, but I believe 4 will be the baseline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real thing is supposed to carry up to 7, but I believe 4 will be the baseline.Mine actually carries 7, there are MK1 command pods serving as the heatshield as well.

Guest Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I was trying to make a custom mechanism with 4 big I-beams depleting from the surface of the tanks using sgt_flyer method but at more than 90° (> grid fin)But it's real complicated, I might end up just strapping on a pair of LT-2 as MJ suggested.Thanks Gus, your version got me brain inspired, it's a tricky design to replicate, and a nice challenge. My Dragon can carry 2 crew btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majorjim! Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Just something I'm working onhttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah315/Yukon0009/screenshot302_zpsgh9tcqhs.pngKewl. Have you flown it yet? Under the current aero model you will get unwanted sideways forces using the wings as fuselage. But with the update it should work well. Hopefully!

Azimech Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If you build the whole thing out of wing parts, those sideways forces are neutralized. My planes fly like the real ones, except they don't stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon0009 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's actually fairly stable in flight, I can take off, fly, and land it.- - - Updated - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Approach and Landing Test of my new spaceplane, "Clipper"I didn't need to build an entire carrier aircraft, but I did.Getting ready for separation.Here we go!Still falling pretty fast... Maybe I should have added a drag chute.Oh well. This is why we test these things!Fortunately, the two crew aboard survived the incident.

Does it use his mini hinge of ant engine bells? Is the triangle made from solar panels? Edited March 24, 2015 by Majorjim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt_flyer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) @Majorjim, genius, i don't know, but thanks but mad, almost certainly Luna-17 mission ready ! now with the mobile service tower... (the mobile tower is a separate craft it was rolled off the runway before loading the rocket, then veeery carefully rolled back into place ) Edited March 24, 2015 by sgt_flyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon0009 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 how many part is that????!!!!?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
