This is a tiny drone now with more fuel!
Thanks to @Zyvx (CHECK OUT THEIR PAGE! Their craft are awesome) and the advice they have given me, this drone now has a much longer range. With the surplus amount of fuel this drone can now reach speeds greater than 2,000m/s - 2,800m/s and can reach sub orbital altitudes.
THE MANUAL: (Who is going to read it anyway.) :)
Throttle up to 50% and pull up 1 - 2 seconds after you begin takeoff roll.
Once in the air throttle to max and fly.
Edit: I forgot the landing manual.
How to land: Crash and burn baby burn.
What?! Not good enough? Fine.
Reverse thrust is your friend for landing.
Bring speed down to less than 100m/s for a safer landing.
This craft likes to glide so make sure to aim well before the intended landing zone or you will be almost certain to overshoot.
Do not forget the landing gear.
Try to set down as gently as you can and apply brakes.
The throttle control at the point of wanting to crash. I mean land is up to your discretion.
SMALL ISSUES TO ADDRESS:
The craft becomes a bit unstable with high speed if you try to maneuver.
The craft is not autopilot friendly after a certain speed.
You will need to adjust the autopilot to your liking if you intend to use it.
(I may have meesed it up. I have not gotten used to the autopilot and mostly fly manually anyway.)
Control surfaces are a bit sluggish at high speeds.
Roll is very sluggish in general.
THE ACTION GROUPS:
AG-1 is engines
AG-2 is landing gear
AG-3 is nav lights (The craft glows too brightly for them to be useful)
AG-4 is spotlights (for all your night flying needs)
ENJOY! :)

@Zyvx Thank you I am glad you like it. Thanks for the advice as well. I am working on a lot of ideas and recreations of my craft from KSP. SR2 Is similar in some ways and in others so very different. I hope to continue making satisfactory craft. By the way, how was the discription? Was it too long? I am a bit new to this so I want to make sure I am not boring people. Again thank you for your help.

I just thought I let you in on another trick to make slowdown super easy, equip a parachute, use tinker panel to set stage activation to none, then assign it to a group, this way you can toggle the parachutes to retract and use them over and over, like ghetto air brakes. You can scale them down if you dont want them too visible too. I do this on my Trek ships.

Awesome job, I flew this for a long time, then I saw in your description about it being unstable at high speeds. I highlighted the big center part between the engines, went to advanced part settings and maxed the stability modifier, and sure enough your awesome drone flew up smooth and stable past a alt of 100,000. Nice work

@Zyvx I will lose internet today but will be back soon. Thank you again and I hope you enjoy.
@Lulless I like your description, the humor too, I say be yourself in the description, I done long and short descriptions based on if I feel lazy or not. I look forward to trying your stuff.
