鶼 Ji�n (SSI Type 1 Shuttlecraft)

That's pretty neat :-P

I like the approach to just use RCS for burns on those light jets. I still have to learn a lot when it comes to minimze part count and efficiency...

But as an excuse: Before going small I was addicted to gigantomy (but don't try to see that as German nature):

Heh, I think you'd need quite a few RCS thrusters and a ton of monoprop to get that into a stable orbit.

The JiÄÂn is now SSI certified! Great job! Catalog publication coming soon. See http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/41898-Shuttlecraft-Systems-Inc-%28SSI%29-Your-Auxiliary-Spacecraft-Company!?p=989952&viewfull=1#post989952

Thanks inigma

SSI has now published the Jian in the SSI General Catalog!

This just redefined my definition of "minimal spaceship". *goes to tinker on his Quark Mk.I*

Wow! Very nice indeed!

Hey Narcosis

Just wanted to tell you: Thanks for inspiring my new spaceplane. You have a mention on its post (here)

I have to say that with FAR once you go past 100 m/s it starts to wobble and eventually tumble around. But I really like the way it looks so nice work.

Yeah, it was never built with FAR in mind so I'm not surprised that it tumbles, though I'm glad someone tested it. I haven't had much time to install mods recently, especially something that would probably require rethinking my construction techniques quite a bit as FAR would.
