Completing the 500km Going Sideways contract, the old-fashioned way!
-----
This craft only requires "RC Enthusiast" and "Backyard Scientist" technology to use!
Flying it, however, is the tricky part.
First, lock the headings straight up and launch the craft. This craft is only stable after the solid fuel is empty, so keep the craft pointed up until the engine burns out.
After that, start pitching down until horizontal flight is achieved. Keep the pitch around 6°. Any lower than that and you might hit the ground before 500km mark, any higher than that and you might run out of battery before 500km mark.
Lastly, the craft has a tendency to drift sideways, so a corrective roll has to be applied to keep the craft's prograde straight.
Good luck! And sorry, no automation.
