Kerbal Flying Platform

[pheeph]

I made this one vehicle inspired by the Hiller VZ-1 Pawnee. Right now, the current variant is unmanned with the seat on top. You'd have to move that craft somewhere and load another craft with a Kerbonaut and send that Kerbonaut to the flying platform. I used an electric propeller (and inverted its position at the bottom of the craft in order for it to lift off) from Firespitter. The RCS thrusters are used to move it around. There should be a retractable ladder on there. When the Kerbal climbs up, make sure you right click on the seat to board it. The design may look really crude with the propeller clipping through the RCS tank and landing legs, but I might try to improve on it if ever possible.

And due to my ineptitude on flying VTOL craft, this thing fell over when I landed on the top of a building. It can be accident prone (I lost a number of these flying platforms in unmanned flight tests).

Nice craft

I'd been messing around for ages trying to get pilots into craft with only seats. Then I came up with this:

Ooh, pretty cool. I actually made a seat-only craft in my recent video. It's a glider launched by an SRB, and... [sARCASM]it works... beautifully...[/sARCASM]
