Mun Bomber 2!

[distructo]

Sorry control!

New Prototype wanna try it :-)

[distructo]

Lift off.

Is Kerbal that way?

There it is !

Oh Dear no Fuel Please Parachutes work!

OH My GOD Do I float!

IT DOES!!! Wheres the next rocket lets go again!

I feel like going nuts on you, not for most of your rocket, but for using parachutes on a spaceplane.

I used them on the Ibis and Kestrel. Then again, the Ibis does at least have the capability of making a landing by itself. Which is why I built it. The Kestrel was far too big, and it couldn\'t LTOL.

Now to build a Dramiel !!!!!

Hay its a back up plan if you wish to use the fuel to fly about and land you can without the parachutes :-)

Mfw noticing the parachutes.

But in all seriousness, why not attach a few heavy RCS modules that C7 provides for VTOL capability on Kerbin? It hurts to watch the ineffectiveness of parachutes... :\'(

[distructo]

I don\'t really care for CO2 emission looks cool and does the job lol. Not bad for a bottle rocket.

Take the parachutes off at your own risk! Apply Faith Tank!

But the problem I have is not that your using parachutes, its that your using it on a spaceplane. Whats the point of haling the extra weight of the wings, when you are going to decend using parachutes. It makes no logical sence.

[distructo]

Who needs Logic when you have a space plane to go with the sharks with lasers on there heads :-)

Suddenly I realise that all this time the Kestrel was just a proof of concept, a prototype for the technologies used in the Ibis.

For it failed as a plane, though it could go to the Mun.

Meh, I wouldn\'t see mun-capable planes too discouraging to any other planes. C7 parts are super cheaty, as it. Just get a main engine with some strong VTOL and... well that\'s pretty much it. Can\'t weigh that too heavy in judging.

[distructo]

Almost have a working glider version :-) no parachutes!

Thats why most of my designs have A: no RCS and B: not to be flown above 30,000m.

[distructo]

After your recommendations I have now completed tests for my Bomber 2 Which is now able to glide and land with no use of parachutes!

Here is a sneek peep.

This time simple is best now I glide like a feather to the earth after horizontal flight from the Mun.

Pictures and video to follow.

[distructo]

the next challenge!

More Bombs!

[distructo]

Need some tweaks to stabilize the landing for Mun and Kerbin. But seems good for orbital missions and High Orbit

Enjoy a little unstable but pretty stable for its size!!
