The Helios Space Plane is a small light weight space plane designed to go to LDO and back. It has a fully usable cockpit, in which every switch does something.
There's no tinkered fuel tanks, tinker panel was used soly for cosmetic reasons. It was designed to be flown from the right astronaut view.
How to get to orbit
Step 1 - Take off and head east, and acheive an altitude of 5,000 - 7,000 m
Step 2 - Wait until you have a velocity of 500-600 then pitch up to 50 degrees and while doing so start the engine and turning off the jet engines.
Step 3 - Burn until you apoapsis is 70,000 meters, and wait until 30 seconds and then start your standert injection burn.
Thnak you so much for reading, have a great day!

@AX123 yea one of the updates changed the weight of certain parts so now it can’t reach orbit.
