Ok.... So where do I begin....
I may or may not be a god???

This is a child of the currently two part suicide drone series. (Links will be provided.)
Those two drones are not that great but are fun.

THIS, drone, IS EVEN MORE FUN!!!!

To begin I was able to reach over 10,000m/s In droos atmosphere before I made a mistake and let my altitude get too high resulting in my irreversible ejection from the entirety of the solar system into infinity.

No matter the speed as long as you remain in thick atmosphere, you will be extremely stable and be able to maneuver to some extent. I was able at 5,000m/s to maneuver like a bi-plane on steroids.

Ok, so on to the manual.

To take off you must first engage all three engines,
(AG-1 and AG-2) and throttle to max.

(You do not need the gyroscope at all for in atmosphere flight.
In fact do not turn it on unless you have reached space and need to maneuver to some degree.
Make certain that you disengage the gyroscope once you have reentered the atmosphere.

As well do not use autopilot at all. Period. You will not like the result of autopilot at all. This craft is not autopilot friendly in the least.
This craft is beyond stable if flown with care. Autopilot is not even needed as a matter of fact.) :):)

After such, wait for the afterburner to engage and your speed to reach 70m/s then pull up.

At this point you will accelerate rapidly and be vertical.

Level out and fly.

the roll is very sluggish but that is international to maintain absolute stability.
To roll faster, just begin the roll in your desired direction and apply opposite rudder.

I recommend staying below an altitude of 15,000 for optimal stability, maneuverability, and acceleration.

Ok so on with how to land. (If you are still in the solar system at all...)

Simply... use the parachutes at a heathy altitude of around 1,500 and float down.

(Of course after you have done everything you can to decelerate.)

You will decelerate almost instantly. (of course depending on the speed at which you used your parachutes.

If you can get past the loop of being unable to decelerate at all with engines off or with full afterburners then this next bit is for you.

Try to land at around less than 100-70m/s.

Set the craft down as gently as you can and apply brakes.

For both landing scenarios make certain to remember your landing gear.

Ok so for the Action Groups.

AG-1 is Primary Engines
AG-2 is Secondary Engine
AG-3 is Landing Gear
AG-4 is Nav Lights
AG-5 is Spotlights
AG-6 is Gyroscope
AG-7 is Parachutes

I hope you enjoy this craft as much as I have.

DISCLAIMER??? Maybe....:
This craft is so far from vanilla that I believe I taste a hint of mint and a bit of chocolate chip. You get the point. I hope...

Also I played built / tested all on Default settings and graphics. If you have a weird issue or glitch (that isn't you absolutely breaking the game with this craft.) try checking your settings.

    Infinite acceleration confirmed. The screenshots of proof to come soon. I am going to sleep and will upload the screenshots soon.

    Awesome job, I flew this all over the place. The handling is smooth. I flew it with stick control and nav sphere, works great. I look forward to watching you grow in this game.

    @Zyvx Yay I did it. I have a craft with absolute stability and possibly infinite acceleration. Maybe...
