NOTE: Add dead weight to the front of the plane, if not, the aircraft will stall constantly on descent.

After 1 month, I have finally finished!
This is the second aircraft with a interactable cockpit, and the most detailed one of mine yet!

HARA is a high altitude research aircraft for researching atmosphere, weather, and aerodynamics. Capable of 20000m. Flight instructions: Set throttle to 20%, once airborne, set throttle to 60% and maintain 30 degrees pitch, using trim only. At 16764m, let the plane level to 15 degrees. Once at 20000m, set flaps and trim to full to maintain altitude. For descent, set throttle to 5%, and maintain 10 degrees downward pitch. VTOL for flaps. AG8 to toggle gyroscope.
NOTE: Set the mass scale of the wing pods, cockpit canopy, and "Latitude" text to 0, and set the landing gear mass to 0.5.

    @Ploooperman I found a simple car on the website, set the engine input to throttle so the AI could use it, and spawned it as the aircraft was landing
