[DESC] Vintage Bare-bones Airliner

Made in Base-Aeronautics.

This is one of my favourite planes I've made. Super basic (you still need redstone links) and vintage, doesn't look out of place next to a create airship. If you're new to planes you can try and dissect something simple like this to make your own.

at 130kpg (light enough to pull around with handles) it only needs 5 Portable Engines to steer and fly. I managed to get a smooth altitude of 145 blocks up (flies over almost anything) at 22 blocks per second (average for non-steam planes)

The pilot has to stand for the entire flight as this is intended for short distances. But it can go far.

Based on the 1913 Sikorsky Le Grand.

You need to change a few parts to get this working right.

1: Press the valve in the tail part once, break it and connect the shaft and break the logs.

2: At the very back are dyed pink sails. With symmetric sails build below the pink sails two blocks, so it intersects with the moving part.

3: by the engines are vertical sails. break them and go to the lecturn and press A/D on the controller. where the sails were (above the cog!) build up two symmetric sails so it intersects. place a rope by the rope connectors while you're there.
