Thank you! it takes quite a bit of testing to make sure they fly good when full of fuel and empty. Heres a larger SSTO I made that is still capable of easy flight but can haul 3x as much

Cool ssto! The mk3 ones I always build are really difficult to fly and need constant adjusting during flight. I have no idea how you made this so simple and good, but I admire it!

...I might have forgotten to do that!

Something that can help is if there is any extra fuel to pump it all into the very most forward tanks. It makes it easier if the weight is forwards

Yes the do pretty much fly themselves to orbit . Haha that reentry takes some serious practice though. Thanks for checking it out

I gave it a quick test-flight last night and it almost flew itself into orbit. Brilliant. My experience with re-entry is normally rough, but this only "wobbled" a bit during the final parts. However, the first landing was a disaster! I am a terrible pilot...
