SSTO version!? Boy...

Bob: EJECT! EJECT!

Jeb: *poker face*

Bob: What? was it something I did?

Jeb: now we are stuck in orbit thanks to you...

Mewhehe, since this is not a SSTO I can easily fly it :P. I did train with your [insert name here] but I failed to get into orbit :(

I'm surprised the Stratos didn't get into orbit, what went wrong? Did you delete the RCS pods or the drop tanks? Please tell me you didn't use the rockets during the whole ascent! :) Oh wait, you didn't use the T model did you?

I did use the T model, I dropped the tanks, But i did use the rockets for Most of the ascent :(

Ah, that explains it! The T Model isn't supposed to get into orbit, it's just a training version equipped with a normal jet engine, if you did manage to get that into orbit I would have been very impressed! You want the normal version of the Stratos with the long intake stacks and the turbo jet, oh and make sure you delete either the drop tanks or RCS pods before setting out. You want to use the jet to take you up to about 12-15,000m before pitching over to 45`. Level out at about 25,000 and build up your speed, you want to be going at least 1800m/s at 30,000m before you light the rockets. Good luck! :wink:

Also, If you don't mind I have a challenge for you *insert evil laughter and face here*

I don't think this has been done before: A VTOL that is capable or circumnavigation :P

Easy mistake to make. :) With your challenge I'm sure the Scythe can do it, I've flown it to the north pole before and it barely used a 1/4 of a tank.

Not the way I fly it! :D

Even with my spanky new joystick I still need lots and lots of practice with VTOLs before I'm as good as you guys. Currently I'm making my Kerbals turn green... wait, what?
