An Electric Paddle-"Boat"

[Tsevion]

Using some of the same principles as my helicopter, I built an electric paddle boat:

Paddleboat Craft File

Paddleboat with Launcher

The paddleboat works fine on Kerbin, so tooling around the space center is fun. The launcher will kill your framerate, but should easily get it to Eve or Laythe... it has a stupidly large amount of delta-V. You might need more parachutes for Laythe... haven't tried it.

Hotkeys:

1) Toggle Ground Wheels

2) Toggle Paddlewheel Drive Wheels

0) Extend Ladders

Last, when you decouple the Paddlewheel, make sure to timewarp a bit, and come out again, so physics engages on it properly.

I might mess with this tomorrow, try and shoehorn in deep-sea kethane refining. Because when you have infinite cruising range, why not?

I salute to your innovativeness!

How the hell do you get the paddles to rotate??

Its witchcraft I tell you!
