Bad Ideas Corp Experimental Craft. ROFLCOPTER Rocket Helo (it goes soi soi)


Recommended Posts

BAD IDEAS SPACECRAFT AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS CORP

presents its first foray into the Kerbal vehicular industry,

ROFLCOPTER-class Rocket-propelled Helicopter.

So I was trying to make one of those rocket helicopters (like the Nazis had in Captain America, couldn\'t find a picture)

It worked

In the VAB

LIFTOFF!

Stalling without engines

It has some interesting properties. For one, it ACTUALLY FLIES, but only to a top speed of 27.4 m/s, after which it starts stalling (and by that I mean spinning in circles slowly to the ground)

If it flies out of control, just turn off the engines, no SAS required. It might straighten itself out AND land itself. It descends slowly to the ground, exploiting what I THINK is a manifestation of the infinite glide glitch.

Landed!

Requires Down Under Aerospace and Party Supplies (or just the Mei Long capsule), Exoplanetary Infrastructure (Absolutely necessary for the hubs), and the C7 Experimental Aviation pack If you wanted to make one yourself, you could probably do it with stock canards, (tried it and it failed miserably with all other canards) but you at least need the hubs from the ExPI addon.

Make sure to move it backward in the VAB before launching or it will hit the launch tower and go all kerbal on you.

I am attempting something else over the next month, as my first foray into plugin and mod-making. Let\'s just say it gives rockets a little more boom boom ;)
