Description

Version 1.3: Upgraded to KSP 1.7.3 and gave it dozen bladed rotors that are radically more powerful then its v1.2’s quad paddle rotors.

Can fly on Eve or Kerbin well, and land/take off from sea or land. Can carry 6 Kerbals and comes with a full science complement and a 2-kerbal foldable rover with large science arm and science instruments. Rover can be dropped and picked back up again and flown anywhere. Comes with its own booster rocket, fairing and inflatable heat shield for getting to Eve. With far more powerful engines than the Eve plane this aircraft can cruise at nearly twice the speed, as well as climb much faster.

Extra Keys: Throttle = Throttles Rotors, when they are unlocked. {j}/{l} = Angle Blades.

Advice: Do not operate rotors at full power when taking off at low altitudes as it can provide incredible thrust in Eve’s thick atmosphere

Precaution: To prevent kraken creep of robotics parts under Eve gravity it is recommended to retract wing tip gear and open cargo bay, then disengage the wing hinges and cargo bay pistons, but lowering them to the ground or seas surface first, ONLY AFTER ALL THAT can you quick-saving or focusing away without parts creeping
