Work-in-Progress [WIP] Design Thread

Working on a pod racer, have a problem though for some stupid reason the yaw and the pitch are mixed up and half interfere with eachother.

chucked some hover gear on it to try and sort the problem out without flying and yeah... im lost lol.

i know it is because of the reaction wheels but i still can not figure out why its turning the pitch and yaw into a game.

Edit:

Maybe its the way the control wheel is facing? hmm

I had a similar problem with one of my craft. As it turns out, the probe core was facing the wrong way

So i was working on a small cargo ship again... seeing as i don't have a good one that is up to date.

I was gonna try fuel tank + cargo bay in one body.

Here the cargo bay looked kinda small...

Later i decided i want to make a tilt nose again because it worked so well (unlike tilt tail), but...

There was no convenient way to move the lift center to the back :P

Later tried something simpler:

Buuut I concluded that fuel tank + cargo bay in one body is just a lousy idea, so...

I made something minimalist.

- No useless cargo doors

- No wayward mass center

- No funny fuel flow.

Made of 280 parts and it's pretty much complete. I just have to fly it somewhere to be sure it works.

It's similar to my 1st small cargo ship, but with better fuel tank arrangement and ~100 less useless parts. Flies at least as good.

Now thats better! :D Using a single engine, or just one for testing?

Going for a single engine for this one, thinking ill make a few of these :D

Edit:

Hmmm quantum struts doesnt work on 0.90 :( will have to use normal means of sticking engines together for a double engine pod racer.

anywho for now ill finish the single, ill release it maybe tonight

I updated my motorcycle, look and performance wise. This time it comes with docking port and refueling rover.

It will remain a WIP probably, as with all the adjustments I made, there's too many twisted parts in the frame parts. (still handles well enough though)

Turns out I really wanted Jeb to lean like Ghost Rider and take 350 km/h turns at 5G+ xD

So I work now on a manned KerbAprilia 8 (aka Hayabusa ^_^' )

This is made possible by a new/better set of suspensions and frame as always.

This one I might take to the mün or elsewhere for high speed piloting sessions records..

^Love the swingarm!

Mostly trying to get this "Duna base" (with an observation tower!) into Orbit. It's a self-propelled base that will house 27 Kerbals. Have hyperedited it to Duna for test landings, but now trying to get its lifter working. So far no dice once stage 4 separates, tumble o' death.
