Usage
The Twitch is used to provide thrust to a rocket. It is great for small probe landers because it has a high thrust-to-weight ratio. While it can be radially attached without a structural part and can be used to fit landing legs, it is less powerful and efficient than the 48-7S "Spark" Liquid Fuel Engine (though it is 50 kg lighter).
Variants
As of version 1.7 this engine has two textures that can be switched in the editor.
The different variants of the engine
