Craft updated 6/21/20 with better/more stable launch booster, fuel cell for shuttle, and some additional fuel.
FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
Throttle up to full and stage. Begin a gentle gravity turn, aiming to match included picture of booster separation, IE direction of travel at 45 degrees at 12,000m.
Turn on RCS after booster separation and keep nose pointed at prograde.
As the orange fuel tank/booster burns down, throttle down to maintain stability.
Near the end of the orange tank you will be around 25% throttle. Use the prograde
marker to the left of the navball to help maintain control. After booster separation you should have around 500 m/s of delta V.
OTHER NOTES
This craft flies very smoothly in-atmosphere and is surprisingly maneuverable and stable due to the number of wing panels making up the body.
Action group 1 toggles the shuttle’s engine.
Action group 5 toggles the docking bay doors.
