Yeah, I need to remember that, I think I have the fuel flowing the wrong direction! Thx

When I get to 20k apos I try to turn to 45 degrees and it just goes crazy (so still the first stage). 1) When you say "center of mass forward", can you expand on that? I thought I was supposed to keep center of mass as low on the rocket as possible. 2) How do I figure out the center of lift + drag back? Thx jonpfl

All, I am trying to build a rocket that will get me to the Mun, let me land, do some science and get back. I am curious why this rocket flips around 20k when I try to turn it to 45 degrees? Why do some rockets flip and some don't? I am trying to keep the weight lower in the ship which I assume would keep it from flipping. What else? Thx jonpfl

Ok, why won't this plane take off? What am I missing?

All, My bad, I rewatched video and didn't realize he attached fuel tanks on the wing, I thought they were engines! Thx jonpfl

Ok, makes sense. I saw some video from an older version that just popped on those engines without a fuel tank. Or could I be mistaken? Thx jonpfl

All, How come I cannot add an engine to this design? It never clicks onto the plane. What am I missing? Thx jonpfl

Just trying to get into orbit right now to get some science. I assume I should try and get to the moon to start getting more science. Or should I focus on planes and collect science on Kerbin? Thx jonpfl

All, I started a new game in v1.3 in science mode and am hoping to get to the moon soon, what do you suggest I research next? Thx jonpfl

All, If I am playing science mode (as suggested) and trying to get to the moon, what should I research next? Thx jonpfl

Quick question, I thought I read about someone saying having your ship tilted east before takeoff. Is that possible somehow? Thx jonpfl

Someone just told me this, cannot verify if it works though (as I said, I am at work).

Now I need to go on Steam and figure out a way to get v1.2.2 so I can continue playing with my mods. I found a reddit thread that describes how to do it, I am going to try it when I get home (d*mn work interferes with fun stuff). Thx jonpfl

Great tip, I will do this in the future! Thx jonpfl

I am at work, but in regards to Macbert, what did I do wrong when building ship? How would I lower the COM? Thx jonpfl How do you make fuel drain from the bottom up? Thx jonpfl
