There are two good working methods to getting past the "sausage of doom". You need your Force attached to the back at all times:

1) Stay above it. Look carefully at the ceiling: you'll see holes in the ceiling, that's where enemies will appear. If you stay between each gap in the ceiling, you should be able to destroy everything that appears. make sure you use a level 2 chargebeam, or the R-13's Anchor Force to destroy the Bydo dogs.

2) If you're really brave, set speed to 1 or 2, and get under it, staying between the flame chutes. You'll need to make sure you destroy all the enemies that sneak under the meat blimp, while tap-moving with the blimp.

Once you clear the left edge of the meat blimp, attach your Force to the front of the ship, and beam the thing to death.

Here's a videoclip of me clearing the section to the next checkpoint, with the R-X, and completely powerupless. (DIVX - 7MB)
