Don't think so, turnaround time is slow on the Forum, but the eventual feedback is generally of high standard.

Am I asked to test this rocket?

I'll do it with pleasure :p

I must say it flies pretty well:

But it can go way further than HEO, it can even go interstellar:

Ok, I've tested it seriously :)

It does the job, no problem, but it's possible to do it more efficiently.

I tried to rebuild it by removing an engine and the hidden fuel tanks:

2 engines were really too powerful for this rocket. I've also added a probe to make the first stage controllable. And in the end:

And I still have a lot of remaining fuel. You could even use it for a bigger payload.

Despite those small changes the rocket is quite balanced, good job ;)
