(Sorry if this doesn't count as realistic i tried to go with an interwar/Empire continuation steampunk theme) Controls: AG 1 for wheel power, this can be used to give a boost for shorter take off or just for taxiing. AG 2 for the propellors. Land on about 30% power otherwise it will nose down and crash, the landing gear can take a while to extend from the nose to don't leave it late. Although obsolete now with it's canvas wings and wooden frame the game master represented the height of hunting in the new British Empire with platforms covered by the engine nacells for firing large bore rifles from, the ability to chase down any prey was favoured by wealthier and older hunters who were not as mobile or for the young wealthy looking for the thrill of soaring over the African bush at 140mph the SL Gamemaster has a total of four steam powered engines and six propellors providing ample power for short take offs as well as a secondary oil power plant driving the two large main gear allowing for fast acceleration in the event of contact with a hostile tribe.
