Rover delivering planes on Kerbin. what's your method?

[pjesapjes]

What is your way to deliver rovers on foreign places on Kerbin?

here is mine:

im not very good at landing on precise spot haha

I used the skeleton of Air-16 by Jeb Cubed and took the bombs out and changed the wheels. im also trying to build a drive in cargo bay on this craft.

this craft is awesome and i give Jeb Cubed all the credit for that. Thanks Mate.

You might want to try the SCARAB, it's a utility dropship designed specifically for shuttling cargo around Kerbin. You can pick one up by clicking on the link in my sig.

I have this plane for carrying things on kerbin. Inside of it is empty,pretty large area for everything. But I cant say Im using this,I didnt needed it much.

This video is a little demonstration of my VTOL Flatbed Carrier "Hermes and his companion Rover "Marathon", a match made in heaven.

You can download it and give it a spin from The Spacecraft Exchange: http://goo.gl/vSNmEc

I have two methods:

Rover Launcher

It's not complicated. Rover + Wings + SBO on top, with a missile style launch. It wouldn't tavel very far under rocket power but would glide for miles happily.

Upsidedown Plane Death

I tried to get a rover droppable from a plane that I could fly at 50m/s just above land and drop my rover like a slow sciency bomb, then land. Obviously there isn't enough space under the stock airplane undercarriage so being the ****** McSpacky Pants that I am, Instead of just raising the landing gear / body of the plane using the metal structural parts, I attached the rover to the top of the plane, upside down.

So it takes off like a normal plane. I then fly upside down at <50m/s and <20m alt and drop the rover onto its wheels, then roll the plane back the right way. It works a few times as well!

Pictures will be up when I get home from work!

What if your plane *IS* a rover?

Not impressed. *lies*

Oh yeah, I forgot about my fully engineered and genuinely good JetBoat IV. I celloptaped a rover to the front of it:

It has enough range to go to The Desert Continent to the west of the KSC.

Leve, does that version need any post 0.23 love per your nifty base model?

[Mr. Speed]

very nice designs here, seems there are many ways that work. tomorrow I'll show some pics of the plane I used to bring a refuelling rover for my SSTO's to the the island runway.
