RocketPilot573 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Finally, after 5 awful months of working on this thing... [SIZE=1](well, I wasn't working on it constantly, just on and off occasionally)[/SIZE] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/xZCK0fT.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/P034o5w.png[/IMG] The cargo bay door/ramp may be just a few minutes away from actually working as I type this post. Pls. Just work! EDIT: NVM false alarm! Does anyone know how to undock 4 claws at once? WITHOUT any undocking first and causing the ramp to tilt over. Action groups are buggy. EDIT 2: Change the "few minutes" to a few hours... or days.... weeks? The amount of bugs I am encountering is beyond bad.

Frozen_Heart Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 After giving up on it for a while I decided to come back and have another look at my attempted SSTO. As I was insisting on 4 Rapiers I eventually doubled the amount of fuel it contained and make the vehicle much larger. The result is that it now gets to orbit with ease and has enough fuel to dock and return to kerbin.

BlueCanary Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 To be honest I never really expected this to fly, but a pair of crudely slapped on canards later, here it is veering off the runway and into the sky: [imgur]1mRjk[/imgur] Those canards were necessary because the thing is a big floppy banana of a plane, and without them holding it up the nose drooped and splattered everything over KSC. It's 188 parts with a cargo bay big enough to hold mk3 parts, but at the moment it's practically useless since it's too floppy to turn harder than what you see in this album, and the way it's put together (those mk2 fuselages in the sides are not connected to each other) is supremely draggy. Maybe a redisigned version will look better and be a little less bendy, but until then it's a bit pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueCanary Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I rebuilt my cargo plane from a few posts ago: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/i4OxYCc.jpg[/IMG] Now certified to suck 80% less than the old one, it flies reasonably for a several hundred tonne brick, and has cargo bay space for 3.75m parts. It is hideously slow though and when heavily loaded (its 100 tonnes empty but 230 tonnes at standard fuel and 308 at full fuel, so there's quite a lot of variation in flying characteristics depending on weight) it takes ages to climb and can't get very high. I think speed will get a lot better if I go through the design adding nosecones in various places, but this will add quite a few more parts, and it's already at around 200.

[COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Glad to see some influences of my BUFF series passing the revue. [/QUOTE] I'm not sure that would help since the problem with that prototype was bendiness - the nose and tail drooped, pitching it down. The redesign though (a few posts below it in this thread) is much less floppy, and flies much better. But yeah, lots of influence from the BUFF series (which is awesome btw). In fact, for comparison what is the performance of the BUFF 3 like? Particularly climb performance and maneuverability? Also fuel efficiency, mine looks to have a much higher fuel capacity than the BUFF but it burns at quite a high rate. I can't really try the BUFF myself because the part count is so high, but it seems reasonably similar to mine in terms of configuration so I'd imagine it should fly similarly, if I've got mine right - and since I have little to no experience with planes this big, I don't know if I have.
