The upgrade to the XLR11 also makes it pump-fed instead of pressure-fed, so you don’t need high pressure tanks which saves a lot of weight. Also try filling the wings with fuel, push the utilisation up (it defaults to 1% but can go much higher) and you’ll get a lot more burn time.

Awesome, thanks for the tips! Didn't even think of trying to change the tanks

I’ve got my own RP-1 career ongoing and watch a few RP-1 video series so I’ve picked up some of the tips and tricks, though a lot has changed since I started- no science flying low over Earth being a major one, it definitely seems to take longer to get going from what I’ve seen of recent RP-1 play through series including this one.

If you can, use the RD-108 over American options as it’s more efficient and becomes extraordinarily reliable when using some of the later configs. It’s also a good idea to add parachutes to your rocketplanes for landing, including one on the back of the cockpit to act as an ejector system if everything goes wrong.

Is this still going? I was enjoying it!
