Suggestion/Request: Add an RD-107/8 like engine #46

Closed TheKosmonaut closed 8 years ago

Hello,

You think making an engine like this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RD-107) would be doable? It'd be really great for an RO/RP-0 user. Need more communist hardware:D

@Ven it would fit quite well in stock, too--as a 2.5m engine, say, with somewhat better efficiency than the Mainsail but lower than the Skipper. Or, conversely, as an early, cheap 2.5m engine, for before one gets the others (as the LV-T15 is for the 1.25s).

This is what I came up with, along with what I believe to be two Aerobee engines (150 and 350?): http://imgur.com/a/19rjy

The 107 lacks a bottom fairing, but that can be added With a few config edits (I've included the base fairing model as a separate .mu)

Ah, neat!

Question: Is there stuff under the boattail for the RD-107? As in RO use at least, people would probably be creating their own boattails (it's why RO uses your old Mainsail model, not your new one)

(I presume there is not, for the Aerobee engines--though that would be great too.)

Unfortunately neither have internals. :/
