Tried taking off the drop tanks and it's still not really getting anywhere. If someone could have a look at it that'd be fantastic, there's 4 different versions I played around with in here

Just wondering how to best use drop tanks on a spaceplane. Can't put em too low or they'll be on the runway and if they are too high like on my current one or it'll backflip at about 15km. Not really a fan of SSTO's since I prefer doing having as much delta-v as possible once in orbit Here's something I've tried making recently, the two turbos are just enough really but eventually it does spin out of control. Another thing, can I strap kerbals on those external seats and have them survive reentry?
