Will post some pics when I get home.
Can it carry a payload,i really need an SSTO that can carry the giant orange juice container into orbit

This is what i usually do to get a payload into orbit:

First:
Should have an TWR of 2,this should carry you to at least 10 000

Stage2:
Should have a TWR of 1.8,this one should allow you to do the gravity turn and get into orbit

Stage3:
Should have a TWR of at least 1.Strap the most fuel effiecent engine you have on this one,this one should do any orbital duties like docking or transferring to another planet.This can also be your payload if Stage 2 still has fuel left

Stage3:
Your payload


So far i can only get basic payloads into space with an SSTO,still good for fueling up my space station albeit slowly.

Will post pics later today.
I have only been to the Mun and Minimint,next up is Duna.
