Flying Kethane Drill System

NEW AND IMPROVED FOR 0.25!

Now fixed to work with new elevon system, as well as improvements in overall stability of the craft in flying, time acceleration, landing and driving. Please note, landing gear should be extended for both takeoff AND landing, then folded away to allow use of rover wheels.

For the best experience, use the following mods: Kethane (vital), Mechjeb2 and Realchute.

However if you don't want to use all three mods I have included a number of versions to accomodate:

1 = All three mods           2 = No Mechjeb2             3 = No Realchute                4 = Kethane only

Features: The drill/rover is equiped with the KE – S110 Medium Survey Unit – Scan for Kethane while flying and drop to the ground when you find some! 4 KE – X130 External Drilling Units are on board, as well as 2 Gigantor XL Solar Arrays and 2 SPL Solar Panels to power them. Battery Capacity is 6034 units, and Kethane capacity is 2000. A KE – C090 Medium Converter is at the rear or the vehicle, as well as a docking port to allow the kethane/converted resource to be easily transferred. Landing gear as well as rover wheels are fitted – take off and land with the landing gear and press "g" to fold it away for control on the ground. I recommend Mechjeb2's Space plane guidance, just set a heading and a height of 3000m or above (after takeoff) and leave the survey unit running!

Action Groups:

1 = Toggle drills

2 = Toggle Solar Panels

3 = Toggle Survey Unit

4= Toggle Docking Shield

I'm truly grateful for any donations, if you like this craft and want me to keep it working with each update then a small donation will make a big difference. 🙂
