That's really awesome. Mine is impractically large and heavy, but that looks right on the money. One issue I couldn't really get around was crew capacity. The real thing is supposed to carry up to 7, but I believe 4 will be the baseline.

Mine actually carries 7, there are MK1 command pods serving as the heatshield as well.

I was trying to make a custom mechanism with 4 big I-beams depleting from the surface of the tanks using sgt_flyer method but at more than 90° (> grid fin)

But it's real complicated, I might end up just strapping on a pair of LT-2 as MJ suggested.

Thanks Gus, your version got me brain inspired, it's a tricky design to replicate, and a nice challenge.

My Dragon can carry 2 crew btw.

Where's the other crew position hidden?

There's one entrance each side, for balancing purpose .

Approach and Landing Test of my new spaceplane, "Clipper"

I didn't need to build an entire carrier aircraft, but I did.

Still falling pretty fast... Maybe I should have added a drag chute.

Oh well. This is why we test these things!

Fortunately, the two crew aboard survived the incident.

This is just insane. Incredible work.

Thanks! I try to cherish that insane side, makes me able to build good stuff with KSP lol :D

Normality is... boring

Incredible. What were the parts for the SpaceX logo(!)?

Looks like the small white structural harpoint for the X :)

Thanks, and indeed, that's a small hardpoint clipped, the SpaceX font makes it the most suited part.
