Extending rod part

[FinnaVibeFRNoCap]

I'm looking for a part that is some sort of a telescoping rod. There is something close in the Infernal Robotics pack, but it doesnt telescope very far and its quite bulky.

What are people using in conjunction with KAS for cranes? Just using fixed non-telescoping items?

Well as I said, IR has 1 piece that is close, but it barely extends and its quite bulky.

Well I should have not just glanced at your post and spent the extra second to comprehend it fully.

I will assume you tried the telescopic piston, hydraulic cylinder, both gantry rails, the adjustable rail, attaching a structual part to get it to do what you need and using tweakscale to alter the size of the parts.

So my sugestion, which I have not tried yet, and not really knowing what yoou aare trying to do;

There is one other that know of that may be working with .25. I totally forget the name. If I remebering correctly I found a link to it in the IR thread at the KSP forum.

Looks like that might suffice. Essentially I'm looking for make a truck with a extendable arm with a grapple on it. The arm is where I'm stuck. The telescoping piston from IR is pretty short and stubby for my tastes, but the functionality of it is what I'm looking for. I'll DL DIF right now and see how that arm thing works.
