: RCS is not really a per-stage thing. When RCS is enabled, it will use monopropellant tanks and RCS thrusters anywhere on the craft, without regard to stages. As for actually using it with the second stage, you should really try to avoid or minimise its use until the final stage, so as not to waste your monopropellant before it's needed. --[[User:Murph|Murph]] ([[User talk:Murph|talk]]) 09:14, 26 May 2015 (UTC) | : RCS is not really a per-stage thing.

RCS
Does the second stage actually have RCS in it? The picture does not seem to show it, only RCS in the fourth stage. --Amacleod (talk) 20:47, 21 April 2015 (CDT)

Can't get into orbit with this thing
I can't get into orbit using stages 1 and 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgrant (talk • contribs) 08:37, 26 May 2015
- I've not tried the craft shown, but it could well be out of date. Just looking at it, it looks like it could possibly achieve orbit ok in 1.0, if flown correctly, but I'd need to test it to be certain. Also, you're not saying what the specific problem you're experiencing is, or what sort of ascent profile you are attempting. --Murph (talk) 09:17, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
