Eagle - XL

The Eagle - XL is the cargo variant of my Eagle Model of SSTO / Space Planes. The Eagle - XL is great for orbital and interplanetary payload delivery.

Check my profile for the others!

It features: detailed cockpit, retractable cargo bay, vacuum and atmosphere engine, full interior views of cockpit and bay, and incredibly fast enginges.

It holds 1 pilot, and a large restractable cargo bay. I have in (each of my Eagle Variants) traveled to, landed on, and orbited every planet and many moons.

INSTRUCTIONS

For best takeoff: Activate APU and scramjet to 40% and set gyro pitch to 20 degrees at 150m/s. The gyro is very sensitive.

For best landing (atmosphered) deorbit and slow to a 45 degree entry, set your pitch perpendicular to your direction. Enable parachutes through stages and continue holding pitch perpendicular. This will airbrake the craft enough for parachutes to deploy. The 4 wings on the bottom are the skids, they will not break. The gear has suspension to bring the craft down onto the skids safely.

The AG 2 enables the vacuum engines, scram jet engines are more efficent in atmosphere. There is a solar panel for long distance recharging, as well as a small RTG. Disable APU to preserve battery in deep space. RCS can be disabled in vacuum, the gyroscope is powerful enough to maneuver.

CREDITS
My Eagle Variants are based on FME's "Sagittarius"
Everything except for the shape of the center fuselage was modified by me, including engines, staging, AG, cargo bay, cockpits, wings, colors, and physics changes.

ENJOY!
