So I should time the liquid stage and boosters, so that when the boosters run empty the liquid stage will be the same mass approx. to my shuttle?

thank you, I was confused when I couldn't find my post for like ten minutes....I'm ignorant QQ.

I have no idea how to get vertical launch Space planes/Shuttles to work. I'm talking about vertical launch stages ( Huge rockets with boosters) and a space plane/Shuttle attached to the side of it. Like IRL Shuttles. I have tried making them before and have centered center of mass and everything but they always fail to launch properly, often just leaning to the side the plane is located on. Teach me how to create proper vertical launch ~3 stage crafts, stage ONE being solid booster ejection Stage TWO being Liquid fuel rocket ejection and stage THREE being the spaceplane/shuttle.

How can I make a vertical launch "Shuttle" successfully? I'm talking about a Launch stage (the Big rocket with boosters) and a plane (with potential payload) attached to the side of it all. I've tried numerous different times to build them but they always lean to the side of the space plane immediately after launch even when I have the center of mass as perfectly centered as I can get it. HALP MEH!
