A replica of the LLTV, the vehicle used to train Apollo astronauts to land on the Moon. Essentially a jet engine, an ejection seat and some rockets strapped to a metal frame. Not the safest of vehicles.

Flight instructions
- Stage, press 9 to set control point
- Main throttle controls rocket engines
- Use I/K to increase jet engine thrust: increase it until the RCS rockets are able to lift it off the ground for accurate reproduction of the LLTV’s performance
- Stage again for crew ejection: you NEED to take their helmet off for the ejection seat to work

The jet engine is mounted on a free moving 3 axis gimbal. In theory, this means that it will always point downwards, providing just enough thrust to simulate Lunar gravity. However in practise sometimes it gets stuck at random angles, which forces you to eject
