This is an outdated and flawed design that has been addressed with the block two version. Which you can find here
Nova 1 is a light cargo, low orbit craft outfitted with the Tyson Sea Level and Tyson Vacum Engines. With a Payload capacity of up to 500 kg and the large fairings that are nearly bigger than the entire second stage, the Nova 1 rivals many of the other rockets in its class.
Instructions
Before liftoff, turn the heading to 85 degrees if your payload is over 350 kg
Before liftoff, turn the heading to 80 degrees if your payload is under 350 kg
Due to the high TWR of the vehicle, you must be active during the entire gravity turn. (For a slower launch throttle the engine down to about 30%)
Once the first stage has boosted you to an apoapsis of around 100 km wait until just a few seconds to burn before hitting apogee as the second stage is incredibly powerful and efficient.

@Kell I didn't realize how powerful it really was until you said something, I just played around with it and got about 800 more m/s of ∆v with another engine I designed. I greatly appreciate the constructive criticism.
