hey guys its been a while since I uploaded anything, and its because I’ve kinda stopped playing KSP, so I got back into the game a bit, and made this, which I think is pretty cool.

anyways, this thing is pretty hard to control, so it’s a high skill craft to fly. its easy to fly in a straight line, but landing and maneuvering are hard due to the engine weighing as much as the craft and having a ridiculous amount of rotational inertia.

Climbs at about 7-10 meters per second while going 43 meters per second

Max speed; ~55 meters per second, ~120 mph, ~200 km/hr
DO not exceed 65 meters per second or the propeller may pop out. It probably wont, but it might if you do hard maneuvering at 60. luckily, its very hard to get it to go above 55 m/sec

Max altitude… probably 10000 meters. can easily get to 5000, and struggles above 6000

make sure that you turn the engine off before landing. this can easily be done by switching to the engine core and pressing T for SAS, which will override the Trim.

DO NOT USE TIMEWARP WITH THIS.

As of now, I believe that this is the smallest electric craft rn, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Description

step one, stage to unlock the propeller
step two, get the kerbal into the seat and Press T for SAS
step three, stage to get rid of the command pod scroll down
step four, Switch to propeller, make sure that SAS is off, hold ALT and Q untill it shows that your prop is spinning at full power. if you dont know how to see where the thing that says your trim power is, simply hold that there for at least 20 seconds.

now, switch back to your kerbal and release the parachute. It should take off at 40, or you can press S to make it go faster

this thing is very hard to control, so be careful near the ground.
