controls

Plane controls:
1 = flaps (extended by default)
2 = toggle ladder for Kerbals to enter the plane from the ground
U = toggle NAV, strobe and landing lights.
space = Disconnect propeller to use it.
A and D = nose wheel steering.
[ and ] = switch between propeller and plane

Propeller controls (seperate vessel):
Alt + E = Propeller throttle up
Alt + Q = Propeller throttle down
Alt + X / T = Propeller slow off/stop

flight manual/how to fly

Take off checklist:
1. When spawned turn the parking brake on.
2. Press 1 to put the flaps up (use only for landing).
3. Press space to decouple the propeller from the plane.
4. Activate SAS for the plane to stalize it.
5. Use [ or ] to switch to the propeller
6. Use Alt + E to throttle up the propeller halfway (bottom left at roll shows the throttle, don’t use more throttle before take off because the propeller will spin to fast, expand and hit the runway).
7. Use [ or ] to switch back to the plane.
8. Turn off the parking brake.
9. Start pitching up at 30 m/s
10. Once in the air use [ or ] to switch back to the propeller and use Alt + E to go to full throttle
11. Use [ or ] to switch to the plane and start flying to your destination

Landing checklist:
1. Use Alt + Q to decrease the propeller throttle to half throttle. (don’t use more throttle for landing because the propeller will spin to fast, expand and hit the runway).
2. Use 1 to activate flaps.
