Damn...I myself can't get that Rapier engines to orbit yet...It suck air like crazy. Then it suck fuel like a monster.

I will keep trying.

Have you tried to throttle down once it switches over? My small SSTO gets into 100km fairly easy with fuel to spare. I only use half throttle after the switch over as my speed is seriously high at that point.

Here is a picture after I went into orbit and landed with my small SSTO

I will add the craft file in just a minute. I needed to relaunch it and test at 70km orbit, which is LOW for me, my standard test profile is 100km x 100km orbit.

Craft file added and the description is in the craft notes under the SPH. But I can repeat them in the post if you would like. It is a KISS technique SSTO.

SSTOs are what I do. I build them in my sleep, that one took 15minutes to slap together. Most of that time was making it look decent.

I'm sorry, I did modify the rules... as I don't want to split the leader board to [stock] and [non-stock].

No problem I just tweaked it to a stock version...

Did it it 7:46s

But with more fuel available.

And one in the daylight so you can actually see it.

Same flight profile, same everything just removed the B9 parts and replaced them with stock parts.
