Author

Stork Delivery System [SDS] adopted for curation by zer0Kerbal Originally created by riocrokite

Description

Vertical frames with integrated legs for interstage and planetary delivery.

Mod characteristics

• allows you to deliver tall 2.5m or 3.75m diameter parts to planet surface thanks to 6m long, extendable legs.
• NEW 7.5m versions handle up to 7.5m deliveries!
• lightweight - reusing same textures wherever possible
• integrated approach - one integrated part for frame and legs to increase stability and reduce part count

Example usages:

Delivery of cargo trucks (with an assistance of JebPush TM at the end:))

Warnings or 'cabin sticky notes'

• When placing engines above center of mass be sure to either lock gimbals or not use SAS because of KSP bug {you might try to solve it using Tweakable Everything mod and reversing thrust of engines that are above center of mass}
• Avoid rocket/jet blast directed at the legs when they are extended. Prolonged blast will destroy the frame.
• Extending process take some time so you have to account for that when preparing to land.

Installation Directions

• Use CKAN (best way) — or —
