The Starfighter from the TV show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
The engine management is tricky, so here goes:
Use the single throtle on the right for the 'antigrav'. This allows a vertical
take-off and landing. The other two throttles are the main engines. I recommend
using the mixture levers next to the throttles to switch off the set you don't
want to use.
For takeoff, switch off the main engines until you are hovering. Although, in an emergency I have just pointed the nose at the sky and let rip!
For landing, switch off the main engines and slow down using the speedbrakes. Start to bring the 'antigrav' in about 150kts or so, then it should be possible to land much like a helicopter.
Many thanks to Barry Leger for 'tweaking' the texture.
Hope you enjoy it
