the AN-124 ruslan was the largest plane of the late 1970's. it was capable of lifting its own empty weight(although mine can do 3) the AN-124 was produced by Antonov, a ukranian plane company. there are few operators and few of the planes were acctually built, (which came as no suprise)but they are not a commercial failure. the planes succesor was the AN-225 "mriya" which was made in the mid 1980's. CONTROLS: VTOL-cargo door. group 1-beacon lights. and the rest is the same as any other plane. the plane should only take off at 30% throttle or you will nose up drastically. (unless you are carrying a heavy load) the plane can fly from wright to yeager and still have 94% fuel left. and thats about it! thanks! (Note: this plane was created as a challenge to test my skills at building large aircraft)
