The '''AV-T1 Winglet''' is a [[winglet]] that helps stabilize a [[rocket]] during flight but provides no [[control surface]]s.
intro=The '''AV-T1 Winglet''' is a module that adds drag to help stabilize a rocket during flight.
 
|
 
usage=Placing too many [[winglets]] may end up producing too much drag, adding stress to your rocket and making it more difficult to control.

The AV-T1 Winglet is a winglet that helps stabilize a rocket during flight but provides no control surfaces.

Product description

Nothing is really known about this thing. Use it at your own risk.

Trivia

  • The line for the manufacturer used to include a comment in the part.cfg file, reading “Kerlington Model Rockets and Paper Products Inc.”
  • It has a nasty habit of tilting the rocket in random directions. The use of a pivoting winglet, reaction wheel or a gimballing engine is therefore recommended.
  • Some people say that this and the AV-R8 Winglet's art style is outdated and doesn't fit with the rest of the game's graphics

Changes

0.21
  • Texture changed to more of a grey color
0.7.3
  • Initial Release
