Warnings or 'cabin sticky notes'

• When placing engines above center of mass be sure to either lock gimbals or not use SAS because of KSP bug {you might try to solve it using Tweakable Everything mod and reversing thrust of engines that are above center of mass}
• Avoid rocket/jet blast directed at the legs when they are extended. Prolonged blast will destroy the frame.
• Extending process take some time so you have to account for that when preparing to land.
