problem with spaceplane urgent
James Kerman replied to imcute's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
It looks like you still have half the tanks filled with liquid fuel, if you remove some of that it will make the vessel lighter and easier to get to orbit. It looks like you are getting to orbital speed so I think you're nearly there. By the way, that's a great looking design! -

problem with spaceplane urgent
James Kerman replied to imcute's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
Okay, I see now. Adding the ISRU stuff to the front of the plane has added a lot of drag in front of the wing. You really want to keep weight and drag as low as possible for spaceplanes as you are already carrying parts for atmospheric flight that become deadweight at altitude. If you are intent on carrying the ISRU gear I'd suggest adding it into a cargo bay to minimise drag however it might be best to remove it from the design until you can get to orbit. Another issue I see is that the NERVA is a very heavy engine for a Mark 1 type spaceplane. While I am not very good @AeroGav is a great designer and pilot of spaceplanes and wrote this helpful guide for Mark 2 types: -

Please don't say that, you are just learning and spaceplanes in KSP are something of a black art. A picture says a thousand words in KSP and I'm sure our spaceplane loving members can assist in design if you have further issues. The forum itself cannot host images so we take a screenshot and upload it to imgur or google drive and then link to the image here. -

Great news on the stability issues! I'm not the best designer or pilot of spaceplanes but I have managed to get a few to orbit by holding 5 to 15 degrees above the horizon on the navball (depending on TWR), you should have plenty of propellant. -
