I thought I'd share this... thing.

Still can't believe I managed to get it to a proper orbit (circular 250 km).

It's all stock and those "collector" ain't deploying in orbit:D.

This is what it looks like on the ground:

The inner engine is supposed to stage after the 6 outer ones, but it wobbled around a bit and, on all the flights, When the time came for it to shine it just wasn't there... Ah well... Overengeneering took care of it. Special thanks to the fuel bug as well, I suppose. You need to ride it at about 2/3 throttle at all times or it disintegrates.

It still has 2 full FL-T400 tanks and one full RCS tank, though. I also staged the 6 engines still with some fuel in it and the inner stack never got the chance to do any good. I suppose some strut connectors would rigidify it so it doesn't wobble, but I had some issues with the spin so I removed them. With it working perhaps there would be enough oumpf even with the fuel consumption fixed.

Hope you like it.
