Things to note

Once in orbit around Droo, you can use the Transfer Window Calculator to find the window is to get the most efficient burn.
Note: You need to take near perfect maneuvers to reach Cylero with this craft. 50 Delta V should be left for course correction.


Re-entry notes

Above atmosphere

Periapsis should be around 12km above surface
Arm parachutes
Enable RCS (act group 10). This is VERY important!
Point Retrograde

In atmosphere

At around 1.5km to 2km AGL, stage off the reentry capsule, stage parachutes, and shortly later detach heat shield.
Immediately turn set throttle to 100% until you reach under a 80m/s, then turn off and wait till under 400m AGL.
At 400m, throttle engines around 70%, and lower the slower you are going.
At 100m, deploy landing legs.
Land softly.
