Schematic by Whitestarliner737, published on CreateMod.com. This page lists what it contains; download the file from the creator’s page.

This is an airliner that runs on a very big steam engine at the back, controlling its flight controls, engines and functioning landing gears. Its all controlled by a type writer at the front inside the cockpit. The plane is refueled with lava which is done by accessing the tanks from the top back right in front of the vertical stabilizer. There you will also find trapdoors that give you access to the engine room, though to get inside you would need to break the engine cranks but don't worry, to get out you just tower up with shafts as they become part of cranks again.

NOTE: once you place this plane with the schematic there's a few things you need to do before you fly: After assembling, you need to fill the fuel tanks with lava, then go inside the engine room and place an empty bucket at the depot, do also add water buckets on top of the water wheel at the very back of the plane, this area is accessed by a trapdoor on the right side of the vertical stabilizer, once the waterwheel starts spinning, you're good. Now close all trapdoors and go to the cockpit to turn off the fuel switch, this will make it so that the mechanical arm starts lighting the blaze burners and watch as the engine comes to life. Its also recommended to check flight controls and landing gear a well as engine direction before flight. You can inverse these by the rotational controllers for the landing gear located under the plane belly, engine rotation controller located behind the engine bearing and the aileron rotational control under the wing. Once done you are ready to fly, just close all doors, gain control of type writer and fly the plane with the following controls:

NOTE2: Upon takeoff this plane pitches up very much because its design to not fly for too long on low level and cruises at higher level of Y 250 something. be careful upon takeoff and if you feel like the pitch is getting higher despite the control, shut off the engine for a moment so the plane starts leveling before turning them on quickly again.

NOTICE: if you want to learn how to operate this plane, OR you encounter any issues with it its highly recommended to give this a look: https://www.reddit.com/user/Tiny-Desk_Engineer/comments/1tkstp0/steam_airliner_maintenance_troubleshooting_and/
