The Spiral system was conceived as a multi-stage aircraft and rocket combo, made of a large carrier aircraft, serving as a mid-air launch pad for a small orbiter, equipped with its own two-stage rocket booster, capable of accelerating it to an orbital speed.

How to operate :
II take off from a eastward runway II

The take off and air launch are automated except for the orbit, just set the throttle to 100% and let GSR do the job then once air launched you'll have to control it manually.

Controls :
AG 1 : Fold/Unfold Wings
AG 2 : Atmospheric Engines
AG 3 : Spiral Main Engine
AG 4 : Open/Close Spy Camera Doors
AG 5 : Cockpit Lights
AG 6 : Drain Fuel (must do before re entry)
AG 7 : Eject Capsule (not recomended while in orbit)
AG 8 : Landing Skids
AG 9 : Solar Panels
AG 10 : RCS

During Re Entry, set the pitch betwteen 40° and 60°.
After re entry, unfold the wings.
Landing smoothly is highly recomanded has the landing skids are quite fragile
