My Spaceplane Sub-orbital record flight

Most of my big spaceplanes don't go as far as your little one did. Apparently, I am doing something seriously wrong.

Thanks:-)

Actually, all of my latest designs quickly crashing, so I decided that for this project I'll be better, but still do not know how to properly land a plane.

The only thing I forgot is RCS engines, and I could not control the plane after it left the atmosphere.

Just use the magic torque from the command module! I think you atmospheric folks get spoiled with your quick maneurverability in atmosphere :)

For me, if the ship does a turnover in space within two minutes, its good enough. Otherwise, I'll have to start thinking about adding RCS. However, if I'm at that point, to turn over quickly I'd need to burn about an RCS tank every second. (Not to mention make my graphics card very, very angry with the large number of RCS thrust exhausts)

I attached file with my record flight space plane:)
