This shouldn’t be possible. Here I have constructed an orbiter powered entirely by RCS. There are several benefits to this kind of craft. 1. Its much smaller and compact than a conventional Orbiter 2. It is easier to land if doing so is neccesary. 3. It looks cool. I am currently working on a second version that will be fully reusable. To control its thrust you will have to switch to translation mode and then joystick up or if on pc hit “T” and hold “W”.

    @Freeskyareospace If you're on a mobile device, there's a button right bellow the joystick button on the right. You click that to enter translation mode. Then push the left joystick forward and all the nozzles should generate thrust. Probably should have made this more clear in the description.

    @Loby999 oh, and those provide thrust, how do you control it tho? With the throttle?

    @Freeskyareospace I used the old RCS Nozzles which are not multi directional.

    How do you make the RCS go in one direction?
