C-25 'propliner' Has been removed, I might re-do it, but I'm kind of dissatisfied

The Type A:

The IDB Type was an early 50-70 seat (depending on configuration) jetliner.
It was developed on the basic of a jet nuclear bomber and had a fairly unique configuration including a tandem/bicycle landing gear configuration.
The Type A had a number of its prototypes crash, mainly due to problems with the engines and pilots being unused to jets, but was still put into production.
It was wasn't very successful and had only a small number of orders besides the national carriers which were required to use it by the government, the Type A suffered a couple of major crashes early in its service and was grounded until a new improved variant was released.
No Type A's continue to fly, but some are preserved in museums.

Controls:

Ag1-4 - Engines
VTOL - Flaps
Trim - Trim (Use it! It is required to be able to fly normally, use -1 setting to keep nose level at most speeds)
Brake- Wing Spoilers

please enjoy!
