Interesting, perhaps they need a pair of grid fins close to the base so they have greater rotational control to vary the pitch and for the final pitch up manoeuvre. The fuel in the tanks will need to slosh to the bottom of those tanks so the engines are not chewing on vapour at the re-light, otherwise, it gets very exciting very quickly and very briefly.
