The LT-1 Landing Strut is used as a landing support when landing vertically.
Usage
The LT-2 is connected radially and extends with the G key (Default). It does not extend as far as the larger LT-2 Landing Strut, but is just half as heavy.
As they are relatively short, LT-1 landing struts need to be placed low on a rocket. They do not extend far enough to be used with LV-T30 or LV-T45 Liquid Fuel Engines, but can reach past the LV-909.
