Playing career, want to save some money. Spaceplanes are something beyond my understanding, so I've decided to make a reusable classic rocket SSTO. My simple rocket is 10 jumbos sitting upon 4 mainsails. Enough to throw full a jubmo to LKO without staging. For reentry I've tipped my rocket with heatshields and installed chutes and legs so rocket lands in engines-up position. Now, problem is that during the reentry aerodynamic forced invariably flip rocket around and it reenters sideways or engines-first. Never made it to the lower atmosphere in one piece.
Are there any tips for making reentrable rocket? Example designs are very appreciated.
Hi, everybody.

P.S. Playing with heat modifier == 2.0
