Skylight Mk2

Description
Nickname: Nova

This is my not bad SSTO build. It can reach LKO(Low Kerbin Orbit) but it need immediately space refuel service asap to go another cruise. This snip uses all the highest techs and heavy as much as over 78 tonnes. Take off use up all the runway but will fly, flight path is gain some altitude around 3km, horizontal flight to gain max speed, small dive to gain speed more than 400m/s for rapier to get it speed boost. After it has over 400 m/s, you just need to stay straight because i had design it wing has small angled up so it will naturally pitch up itself. Suggest stay 5-7.5 degree climb only, and manually switch rapier mode when you no longer gain speed. Turn on RCS around 20km to maintain stability. If you know what you are doing, toggle nuclear engine for fuel efficiency. Build in, dock-able Science Drone (RCS maneuver, reaction wheel only). Custom control internal build TCS. Air brakes included. Nose dock-able port.

Flight test screenshots added @ Stable 91km-90km
Note: wings structural still really weak, any too powerful g-force by too sharp turning will reap it apart and disjoint.
