Description

A stock aircraft called CAT 1 - Prototype. Built with 427 of the finest parts, its root part is trussPiece1x.
.
.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.11.2.
.
Been playing with different designs for a catapult system, this prototype has yielded the best result to date, although not very robust I have been able to get it to work 9 shots out of ten.
.
.
.
*** Not the hardest project I have attempted but maybe the most frustrating.
.

Key 9 - Decouples the craft from the deck and set flight control for a nose up attitude.
.
Taxi up to the launch docking port to attach, release brakes, power up engines.
.
Key 1 - Launches the catapult.
.
Key 2 - Releases the craft from the catapult. Its a timing thing to get a good launch, I tap the 2
………….key when the nose gear is inline with the vertical yellow pipe on the side of the
………… catapult, seems to be the right spot.

.
.
.
The aircraft was configured just for this catapult, I have not tried any others on it and am sure what ever is used would have to be tuned to the catapult the same way as in weight, CG , flight controls set to takeoff etc etc.
