A 1:1 scale fully functional and realistic Falcon 9 Block 5.
//PLEASE READ AND MAKE NOTE OF BEFORE USING ROCKET//
Once the stage 1 fuel has been used, detatch S2 and begin MVAC ignition, when ready, switch over to S1 and drain the upper fuel tank into the main one, this will give you just enough fuel to preform an entry burn and a long landing burn.
Gridfins deploy with CT1 and Slider 1, and landing legs deploy with CT2.
You'll have to manually turn off the 8 outside Merlin engines on decent, but leave the middle more powerful one active to slow you down.
The second stage works like a charm and has enough DeltaV to get you far beyond LEO. The Dragon also has a small cubesat in it's cargo hold which can be deployed in orbit.
ENJOY!

@AdAstra No problem mate,in the recordings sometimes it seems that it is only 1 engine performing the burn

@MarcosEdu it’s just a case of leaving three engines on and not using 100% throttle. It was my mistake in thinking only one was used, but you’ve got the freedom to use as many as you want

If i want 100% realism is it possible to make a re-entry burn with 3 engines?

@MarioG the entry burn would be far too difficult if I didn’t. And if I made the other 8 as powerful as the centre then the acceleration at liftoff would be far too unrealistic. Have a go for yourself and you’ll see what I mean
