Drone for up to 700 tech points in a single mission to Sergeaa.

Auto launch from DSC Bay to low Droo Orbit.

Perform planned burn as shown to enter Luna's SOI ( enter number, then drag burn node along orbit to find the closest approach) for gravity assisted escape.

Shortly after entering Luna's SOI, burn normal / anti-normal to minimize inclination till < 4 degrees, then burn on ascending / descending node to further reduce inclination below 0.1 degree. (ensure AG 1 is off when coasting to save energy. Manual inclination adjustments optional)

Burn again in Juno orbit to enter 13 Gm~13 Gm Juno orbit. Lock on sergeaa, then plan burn as shown to enter Sergeaa's SOI.(May need to drag burn node along orbit to find closest approach and make extra inclination adjustments)
When in Sergeaa's SOI, decelerate to enter ~3000km circular orbit.

Adjust inclination by burning normal / anti-normal near the equator to make orbit pass selected landmark.

Decelerate above target landmark to enter vertical fall. Try to keep speed within 1200 m/s before air density above 200g/m^3.

When in atmosphere, turn ON 'slow motion' , unlock heading, turn on AG1 and AG8 then switch control to the drone.

When controlling drone, turn on AG1, AG2 and turn OFF AG3, AG5 to fly as fixed-wing(blue side up, orange side down). AG4 leveling optional in fixed-wing mode.( Save flight before flying in dense air in case of overload damage).

Before landing, turn to normal time speed, Turn on AG5 to stop propellers, head towards vertical up, turn on AG3 then turn OFF AG5. The drone would behave like a quad-copter(blue side rear, orange side front).
Auto hover when there's no iput.
Use RCS translate up to move up and down for landing, pitch and roll for moving. (CAUTION: quadcopter flight control would not work properly in fast forward)

    @HorusSpace check out the video of this craft in my profile. The rocket orbit might be slightly different if you have lower update frequency in physics settings

    I Made some try but i dont have luck by the gravaty escape burn.
