![]() ![]() For this reason it is wise to use the decoupler towards one end of the side pod and use EAS-4 Strut Connectors or autostruts to keep the other end steady (preferably a pair to help reduce the twisting the side pod might have). You will often find that if you have a long section of liquid fuel tanks or solid boosters that they can twist the joint and potentially break off or explode on your craft. ![]() If a part is attached in this way, then when the decoupler is jettisoned, it will apply its outward force to the top of the jettisoned part, causing it to rotate away from (instead of rotating towards and colliding with) the rocket. If attaching a single part to the TT-38K, it is safest to attach it to the lower half of the decoupler. Additionally, by building a rocket horizontally, players can reduce wobble caused by extremely tall rockets. This makes it possible to stage parts in parallel, and is a critical component of asparagus staging. Since the TT-38K is radially attached, it can be used to attach additional parts to the side of a rocket stack, instead of below it. Visually, the decoupler's legs are left behind, but they add no mass or drag to the parent part. The TT-38K adds a stage to the rocket and when activated will jettison the decoupler as well as anything attached to it, much like the TD-12 Decoupler. The TT-38K Radial Decoupler, like most other decouplers, is equipped with a (hopefully) small explosive charge, that will sever the structural linkage between itself and whatever it's connected to. ![]()
