This is another stand alone variation of the Rocketman I added to my Enterable Geodesic Hab
https://www.simplerockets.com/c/2K7i0q/Enterable-Geodesic-Hab
The major difference (other than color) is that the Command pod has been turned 90 degrees to
offer an alternative flight control dynamic that may be more traditional for some to use.

Original doc:
To get rocketman to standup you may need to hit return (to set the gyro) ASAP.
(try hitting return seconds before rocketman loads) To avoid his falling over.
Once done you may need to adjust Yaw and roll until the yellow compass arrow
is in the direction you want to travel. You must now use the roll function to
have rocketman also face the direction of travel
(so that it coincides with the compass arrow) In order to fly Rocketman you
must always co-ordinate these two controls for a safe flight.

If for some reason you have trouble getting Rocketman to stand up or have to
maneuver him quickly, you can engage the RCS to help in orientation.

Rocketman starts with his landing gear down (see activation group to raise)

Make sure your throttle is down before hitting spacebar to start engines.
Engine power is extremely sensitive - 3% power is enough to get you off the
ground on Cylero.

During flight keep an eye on your velocity and ground speed indicator.
This is especially important when landing - you can also check how well your
pilot is surviving the G forces endured by clicking on him.

Rocketman has several break away parts

The first part that can break away is the shock absorber portion and can be
discarded using the activation group option. This may make landing easier for
some - but removes ballast.

The second part is a round fuel tank that also serves as ballast and can also
be discarded. (requires undocking by clicking on the dock collar)

A way to refuel rocketman was on my mind when I added these parts.
Although there is plenty of existing fuel for an extremely extended flight.
