Description

Quad prop transport plane capable of carrying up to 18 tons of freight.
Nothing less, nothing more. As propellers are slightly more complex than jets to manage during flight, I recommend reading the instructions.

Specifications:
- Role: Transport airplane
- Range: Medium
- Cruising speed: ~100 m/s
- Passengers: Can carry around 20 external command seats instead of freight
- Crew: 1 to 4
- Cruising altitude: ~2000 m
- Service ceiling: Unknown

Flight instructions:
- Bring throttle to zero
- Increase engine torque to maximum (i key increases and k key decreases)
- Throttle to around 1/3 of max, then slowly increase to maximum as the plane passes 30 m/s
- At around 100 m/s, either pitch up slightly or (as I do) use the pitch trim to rotate and get into a gentle 10 degree climb (h key trims nose up and n key trims down)
- After reaching cruise, keep throttle at maxiumum but feel free to bring torque down as low as 50%, this will greatly reduce fuel burn, you can also use this torque setting for descent and landing
- Inflight, it handles like any other plane
- To shut down engines after landing, ensure torque is atleast 50% and manually bring RPM to zero on each engine one at a time, only AFTER an engine has stopped is it safe to bring torque down and disable the motor.
