1st of a 10 Phase release, and is actually the oldest among the ten, I first built this initially after the release of the Tu-114D Qantas 1960. I had things all set and running and the airframe is completed, however due to my indecision of what livery to apply, I decided to delay it indefinitely until I had a brainwave while watching a peculiar flight documentary taken place somewhere south of Vancouver. Regardless, it is imperative and I implore you to never open the air stairs while in flight!

Now that's out of the way, this Boeing 727-200 is radically different 7 months ago, in fact most of its then components were derived from my Boeing 737-200C from cockpit to wingbox. And I'm glad I delayed it indefinitely because in that 7 months, I got to improve on its airframe, avionics, engine models, and much more, and I'm most proud how the flaps turned out, the most flawless, smoothest, and cheapest flaps I ever got to create from 0° to 40° settings! barely consuming 20 parts per flap section! It would also be featured in an upcoming plane project after the current challenge I'm hosting ends.

Originally I had the outboard ailerons disable once flaps are tucked in like in the real thing, I even animated the inanimation of it but I just find it too cumbersome to roll, so I removed it but kept the animation for that extra extraness.
