My first plane to be featured! Thank you guys!

Well here it is! The airliner-variant of the original C7, the P7A Samson! This variant adds a passenger coach & interior inside the cargo hold of the Samson and trades space for comfort. This is also my first design that is actually quiet laggy for me (in-flight/sandbox, not in the designer)

Also, don't let the giant passenger windows fool you on the P7's size, believing it to be commuter/regional sized (like the Shorts 330/360). The P7 is a huge airplane (C-130/Boeing 337 sized) with HUGE passenger windows.

FEATURES:
-Incredible Detail
-High-Detailed Cockpit & Interior
-Super-STOL
-Passenger Cabin with Lounge, Kitchen, and cargo hold underneath.
-Folding Rear Cargo Ramp and deployable airstair.
-Depoyable Ram Air Turbine (Aka "RAT") as a backup Electrical Source
-Flaps
-Custom Landing Gear
-Large Bush Tires
-Animated Yoke, Pedals, Throttle Levers, Gauges/Instruments/Radios (Non-Functioning)
-Custom Lights
-Interior Lights

OPERATIONS:

AG-1 = Fold/Unfold Rear Cargo Ramp
AG-2 = Fold/Unfold Airstair
AG-3 = ---
AG-4 = Lock/Unlock Nose Wheel Steering (Lock before retracting gear)
AG-5 = RAT (Ram Air Turbine)
AG-6 = Interior Lights
AG-7 = Landing Lights
AG-8 = Nav, Beacon, and Strobe Lights
Trim = Flaps & Trim
VTOL = Constant Speed Props (Manual Control; VTOL down for max power)
Throttle = Throttle/Power

NOTES/TIPS:

-Stall Speed is typically at 80mph (70 knots) but this airplane can go down to 75mph (65 knots) with the right attitude, flaps, and power settings.

-Cruises at around 165-180 mphs (143-156 knots) but at higher altitudes it can go 200 mph (173 knots)

-When loading cargo, the gear needs to be retracted so the ramp touches the ground for vehicle loading

-You must open the main cargo ramp before opening the rear airstair.

BACK STORY:

PAC P7A Samson, first flown in 1943.

With the success of the C7, it was a no-brainer for PAC to develop the C7 further into the P7, an airliner variant of the Samson. The P7A Samson airliner was able to hold 28 passengers in a spacious, open layout with PLENTY of legroom and space to adjust the chairs. Because of the P7's slow speed, engineers wanted to provide maximum comfort for passengers. The crew compartments, including crew bunks, and a lavatory (lavatory open to everyone on-board) are located in the forward fuselage section while a passenger lounge and a kitchen are located at the back of the Samson. Beneath the cabin space is the baggage compartment with multiple access points for quick loading of baggage and cargo. The C7A could have seat rails installed on the cargo hold's floor to accomidate passengers, and possibly use a combi (passenger+large pallets of cargo) layout, but the P7A is specifically designed for airline and passenger service. The P7A could carry way more than a meer 28 passengers, but as stated before, with the large cabin and space, engineers decided to use that space for comfort and spacing out between seats so passengers don't feel like cramped sardines. Passengers greatly enjoyed the open space and high-ceilings in the cabin. The P7A was pretty successful for being a cargo-first-passengers-second type of plane. This variant of the Samson enjoyed sales and success until PAC developed airline-specific aircraft that were faster, more economical, pressurized, and more comfy. The main draw back to the P7A was it's slow speed, poor fuel efficiency, and it was unpressurized, limiting it's passenger operation ceiling.

Finally I finished this bird! I still have like 3 variants of the Samson left to make. Not to mention as the timeline of PAC progresses into the 1950's and 60's, the Samson will recieve a turbine upgrade! Hope you all enjoy this variant!

Happy Flying! :)
