I think this is the first Eagle Transporter in SimplePlanes. It has no wings, is integrally jet-sustained, flies, and is compatible with the autopilot. It was entirely handmade, and not obtained by converting pre-existing 3D files.

1 - detachment of the cargo module (NEVER release the module in flight. Release only with the Eagle on the ground and stoped)

Trim UP - Vertical thrust. Just over 50% for take-off and level flight. Small adjustments will be necessary.

All the rest of the commands are standard, but use delicacy and prudence. The lack of wings and gyro stabilization make it a delicate balance spacecraft.


Although it is in effect a replica, there are various differences between this model and that used for TV shooting. Both for the lack of suitable pieces in the game, and for the lack of information on the original, and also for my choice to remain under 1000 parts.

SIMPLIFICATIONS: The tubular frame has fewer trusses in the upper spine, and some parts around the engines are missing. Many details (like the side doors of the cargo module) were reduced to mere idealizations, or they would have required hundreds of parts on their own.

ADAPTATIONS: Details such as the legs of the landing gear are different, but the need to make them compatible with the landings sometimes not very delicate of a medium without wings required this. The four boxes containing the carts were impossible to reproduce exactly, but they are a good approximation, for example. Even the front cabin is impossible to get.

RECONSTRUCTION OF FANTASY: Some things are impossible to find from the images. Details like everything under the tubular frame in the forward and aft s
