Hello

Hi

I am not new to ksp but I still consider my self a rocket science noob. I am new to the forums and i have nearly mastered most things in KSP (docking, SCIENCE!, landing etc) yet there is only one thing that i try time after time and constantly fail... Space planes, i just can't build Space planes that take off from the runway, so if anyone would be willing to give me tips i would love any advice. specifically the accent path from runway to orbit and TWR of jets and rockets that is required so please help me and thanks in advance.

Also Space Shuttle design as in the kind that are launch on the back of a rocket. how do i set the engines so that my entire thing doesn't spin in orbit due to weird COM? and any launch advice would be appreciated.

Again thanks in advance for any advice:D.

I had the same thing, and I just try to make space planes, You need to know some basics

But I found nothing else that really helped my designs, other than trial and error

Hello and welcome to the forums.

I usually build them from trial and error, and all my spaceplanes have followed a design that they all have lot of wings and control surfaces.
