Super Heavy SSTO Fuel Hauler

A semi-autonomous SSTO hauler designed to deliver a 185-tonne (200T max) fuel cell to low Kerbin orbit (70-80k). This is a very well-balanced craft; very little human input is required. The craft has been designed with beginners in mind, make sure to reference the screenshots for pitch guidance.

SSTO Controls:
Press T to engage SAS
Press 1 to activate the engines
Press 4 to deploy the front elevons
Press Z for take-off!

1. Keep the SSTO pitched up at roughly 15-20 degrees and it will fly itself. This should allow you enough time to make a coffee and come back to it.
2. At 9000-10,000m, pitch down to 5-10 degrees - Do not level out
3. Stay at full throttle – You should be between 1050-1100m/s at roughly 14,000m
4. At 16,000m press 2 to switch mode and press 3 to close air intakes
5. At roughly 16,000m, cut throttle down to 50% or a bit less
6. You should have enough fuel left to circularise, well done! Deploy the fairing and release the decoupler.

Enjoy, and please feel free to post feedback.
