This wonderful little liquid fueled rocket is the next step in commercializing low orbit flights! Take off at very low throttle. Once off the ground, slowly throttle up to 100% and pitch up to 90 degrees. Climb to 150,000 feet and throttle off. From there, VTOL down to configure the aircraft for decent. Once your airspeed is below 300 and you have decended to more oxygen-rich altitude, center the VTOL slider and maintain throttle at just below 1% for a landing speed around 150-155 mph. Hope you guys like it! Cheers!-Jim
Special thanks to oDDDity for the engine power scaling!

@Insertname You should play KSP, because you can really get to space!
Np!
Thank you! @vamad88
Yeah I asked BogdanX for some possible help but no response yet. Those guys are pretty busy putting out really detailed builds.@Sarpanitu
I'm working on a Russian styled jet but I am waiting for possible help with the landing gear. I cant really do custom gear like the other guys lol@Sarpanitu
Lol yeah I go a couple days without getting on and I have 50+ planes to sift through lol@Sarpanitu
Thanks buddy! @Sarpanitu

Turns on a dime! Cool design.
@insertname This plane/rocket is just amazing!
Thanks!@LiamW
Cool!
Thanks! It's somewhat inspired by the SpaceShipTwo vehicle! I can't take full credit. I wanted to see if the concept would work in SP...and I did! Mostly lol@Treadmill103
Ahhh thanks, @Insertname I just noticed the power weight ratio was so high. I shall bear this in minde! Learn something new everyday!
Large control surfaces close to the center of mass. Also the aircraft is relatively lightweight compared to its power@rjt9906
This is great. How did you get it so agile?
XD I did! That thing is hilariously fast!@Insertname
