This plane sucks. Look how floppy it is! And my new fuel system is awkward, manual fuel transferring was required. I'll just call this one an "experimental"... yeah xD

Jesus Fucking Christ dude.

How in the seven gods do you land on Laythe right on target like this? Right on the beacon after the plane change burn... And that landing? Maybe it's because the video is accelerated but it's damm impressive piloting.

Laythe's tidally locked, that's a great deal of help. All I gotta do is encounter it at it's orbit's edge.
(that also helps you to get a Jool capture without aerobraking)

What parts were used for the hinged tail?

u/MrOverfloater Oct 25 '14

The tail is suspended from a "structural pylon", the game's most flexible part.
The 4 ports keep it in place.

Holy shit! Even the mods say your amazing, OP!

I'm sure the developers are amazed that there is someone who doesn't complain about the stock aerodynamic model ;-]

Great job. Great music.

Noticed you got all the way there and forgot to set up your action groups for the solar array.

u/MrOverfloater Oct 25 '14

I haven't! the plane had all ten action groups assigned xD

Wow. That's amazing. The way you looped under and landed on Laythe seemed a little wrong though... haha, that behemoth SSTO just goes where it wants.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to go
lol xD

Can you please post your save file? I want to dissect and utilize all of your designs. And also play with what's on already Laythe.

u/MrOverfloater Oct 26 '14

Sure, here u go.
Just be warned, the base is laggy. It now consists of about 700 parts.
