1.0 compatible SSTO!

[Argon]

A 1.0 capable SSTO which can achieve LKO with the new heating and atmo mechanics. (On stock settings).

Ascent

Orbit

Posting a recommended ascent profile would be foolish of me as it is quite hit or miss the way I am currently flying it.

Action Groups:

1: toggle rapiers

2: toggle nuke

3: toggle ladder

4: toggle rapier mode

Well at least these new SSTO's look much more realistic with very swept wings, can it re-enter?

[Argon]

The safety parachutes guarantee survival at the cost of the craft. I have not tried winged re-entry yet, but I have considered adding a radial drogue set to deploy very high to slow the velocity, which would then be cut. Also the variable angle delta wings are kind of my signature when it comes to SSTOs. My entire .90 fleet had very similarly shaped wings.

New Iteration, complete with air brakes and a drogue chute:

5 is the action group to cut chute.

The craft file will be in the original post under the first iteration.
