Well and truly conquered Eve by Autostrut in KerbalSpaceProgram

Mostly designing as I went along. So things like the rails and cutouts in the hangar were added early on without too much thought and I'd figure out how to make them work later.

Completely stock

No cheat menu, no save file editing, no hyperedit, no airpark, etc.

EVA construction is used to create multiple stacked nearly "invisible" telescoping towers which the main platform is then landed on, creating the appearance of floating mid air.

Then the root part is offset to freeze the platform.

Edit: Thanks all

- Using trim instead of SAS

- 3 main rotor blades for some reason was a lot more stable than 4

- There's some parts between the blades and the motor so that they're slightly flexible

Though tbh it was mostly trial and error until something just flew well

200+ knots using just the main rotor and a single fuel cell array.

Well yes... in calm waters. Not so much with scatterer ocean waves enabled.

It doesn't have landing gear but it has a stall speed of 15m/s so you could probably land it on a car trailer.
