Description

The ‘flying container’, this plane is rated to carry 9 tons of cargo and fly a respectable distance. Still, there is no way for the crew to get out of the cockpit, so I recommend only landing at ‘real’ facilities or bringing some airstairs in the cargo bay everywhere you go. Please read instructions to ensure flight operations go smoothly.

Specifications:
- Role: Cargo airplane
- Range: Medium
- Cruising speed: ~100 m/s
- Passengers: However many command seats you can fit in the back
- Crew: 1 to 2
- Cruising altitude: 2000-2500 m
- Service ceiling: Unknown

Flight instructions:
- Ensure throttle is at zero, and increase torque to max (i key increases and k key decreases)
- Advance throttle to around 1/3 and slowly advance to max after reaching ~30 m/s
- At about 70-80 m/s, pull up to 10 degrees (I recommend using the pitch trim servos as they allow for a smooth rotation and climb, h trims up and n down)
- Climb to cruising altitude at 10 degrees, after you reach cruise, you can lower the torque to as low as 50% to greatly reduce fuel consumption; this setting can also be used for descent and landing
-When shutting down engines, keep torque at around 50% and decrease RPM manually to zero, only after the prop stops can you reduce torque to zero and shut down the motor
- Fly safe and most importantly, have fun!
