This can be flown around terrestrially, be sure to deactivate the gyro (AG8) when doing so.
Camera 1 - Launch site
Camera 2 - stage 1
Camera 3 - stage 2
Camera 4 - Cargo module
Camera 5 - space probe
AG1 - Launch!
AG2 - detach stage1 (also activates extra booster on dream chaser)
AG3 - start stage 2.
AG4 - detach stage 2.
AG5 - detach cargo module.
AG6 - activate module arm and arm guns,
AG7 - launch space probe.
AG8 - turn off gyro (used for re-entry.
Sequence:
- AG1 launch.
- AG2 to detach stage 1 - should bee passing 250k feet.
- Either AG3 to gain further altitude or use stage 2 for reentry.
- If stage 2 to used, AG4 to detach.
- TRIM up to extend solar panels.
- AG6 to activate probe arm.
- using VTOL and Yaw aim the probe at the desired direction and AG7 to launch.
- Pitch up / down for forward reverse (deactivate 2 for fine movements).
Reentry:
- VTOL all the way up (dream chaser pointing down.
- If you still have stage 2, then AG3 to activate, and AG4 to detach once fuel is spent.
- AG5 to detach cargo.
- Rotate Dream Chaser to shoot cargo pod.
- point Dream chase down and Pitch down for further thrust.
- At around 200k ft, AG8 off.
- Use Trim up as needed for level gliding.
- Use Pitch down and with AG2 on if you need to increase speed.
- Deploy landing gear. Landing speed is less 100 mph - use Brakes to slow and turn off AG2
- Land on runway.

A couple of issues here. There is only i engine with 2 nozzles on the core stage (orange center bit) not 4 nozzles. and also the white boosters on the Atlas V are not even
I only used the shuttle for the escape pod
@AvroPilot XD this is a rocket.
@SpiritusRaptor dude... you make the most detailed planes and awesome planes 👏
@Jetpackturtle
Lol
@MrTyTheGreat shamelessselfpromotion.exe has succeeded, prepare to tag
@Jetpackturtle
Cough Cough

Falcon Heavy! Falcon Heavy! Falcon Heavy! Falcon Heavy! Falcon Heavy! etc etc...
@SpiritusRaptor So... You re gonna make the bike? Because you didn t answered me...
@Exospaceman
I'm working on a Falcon 9.
Really nice and great design can you make falcon heavy?
@SpiritusRaptor If you want I can post it and give you credit but i will like a lot to see a gyro bike like a desmosedici or a panigale made by you because you re great about desing and aerodinamics and on simpleplanes there are really no good bikes except your one.
I really love your builds! Keep going!
@SpiritusRaptor I actually modified your bike by removing hover wheels and installing a gyro but I also had to install hyper grip wheels and removing some blocks and now works really fine in gran prix
@randomusername I gyro would be interesting to use, i would put it on 2 rotators. 1 for roll, and the other in free mode for going up and down hills. I suspect it would need to have very lowish speed settings on it.
@randomusername It was keeping the weight low (you can check that), using I think it was 4 hover wheels, and also using 0.1,0.1,0.1 wings... the wings provide stability, when moving and the hover wheels when hovering. Check for the wings and they are relatively huge if you were to scale them back to normal. Then its just a case of trial and error until you get it working. Let me know how you go and happy to help...
Wooow Ship
@SpiritusRaptor Hey I have a build request for you! Can you please build a ducati desmosedici using gyros? It would be amazing!
Everything you make amazes me! This is so cool!!
@tsampoy Thanks :) ME 162 coming,,,
This is one of my favorite things about you: you make high quality rockets.
WOW That space shuttle is tiny, or the rocket boosters just huge...
@chancey21 and then?
Wow spiritus raptor builds something with rockets, what else is new XD
Fun fact:
The Atlas V uses the Russian RD-180 rocket engine.
cool
