This is my Falcon 9 First Stage test subject. I wanted to see if I could get the basic mechanics of landing. I usually start at 1km up and fall.
The wheels help with swaying of the rocket once it's landed and I tried placing shocks at the landing leg pistons, but I found it to be too bouncy on touchdown. Sorry about the odd colours, they help with orientation.
