Scaled Composites GlobalFlyer
The Scaled Composites model 311 Virgin Atlantic global flyer is an aircraft designed by Burt Rutan in which Steve Fosset flew a solo nonstop flight around the world in 67 hours and one minute. This aircraft is not to scale and needs a fair bit of rudder input to keep her flying strait and true. For takeoff: throttle to 70% and rotate at about 200kt. For cruising: set power at 50-100% and trim from there. For landing: 20-40% should do but see how it goes; dont flare too much or the tail will hit the ground. P.S I havent put in the windows and other details becuse i was a bit lazy XD
