How To Test An LFB In Flight

[Torquemadus]

Hi everyone!

I thought I'd just post a quick demonstration of how to test an LFB in flight.

I'm playing on custom difficulty, reducing contract rewards for science, rep and funds to 30% (compared to 60% for Hard difficulty). I've just blown almost all of my cash on a Mun rocket (currently outbound to the Mun), so I'm looking for some easy contracts to replenish my coffers.

First of all, I need an inexpensive rocket capable of lifting the LFB to the correct altitude. The most obvious candidate is...the LFB itself!

A quick edit to the staging sequence sets the LFB to "activate" the next time I press the staging button.

I'm now at the correct altitude and speed, so I can now press the staging button to "activate" the already activated LFB.

The LFB is recovered after splashdown close to the KSC. (Waste not want not ). I can now help myself to a hefty wad of cash! Please note that ten percent of all proceeds go to the KSC Science Outsourcing Fund, helping to create a better tomorrow for all Kerbals.
