Wintermob Three - Space
This looks a little less complicated the Wintermob Two. Wrong! Like a real rocket, it is easy to get off the ground but hard to keep pointed in the right direction. No steering controls (We haven't advanced that far.... yet). At 10 to 15 thousand feet, throttle BACK to around 35-40%, then hit 1 to activate the second stage. As your speed goes up, feed in more throttle. At 35-40 thousand feet, hit 2 to activate the second 'Space Module' stage. No need to throttle back for this, just hang on to your seat. If the Space Module becomes unstable in flight, throttle back, turn off the gyro (AG8) and turn the gyro back on and it will stabilize. On the way back down, admire the scenery as you don't burn up. Between 5 and 3 thousand feet, press 7 to activate the parachutes so you don't splatter on the ground.
