I love the squat little lifter! I too once tried to design stages that were part plane to glide back once out of fuel....hmm...ideas.....

Thanks everyone for the support!

@Speeding Mullet: I've been trying to make time to try it. Finally smooth sailing in RL and I have the time.

@KeithStone: Thanks, man! It took me about 4 hours while at a friends house (better than watching them Skyrim) to develop from concept to product. I'll credit ThreeMartiniLaunch for the overall size/structure, and pebble_garden for the winglets-as-seperatrons.

and now...
