Here's my own version of the Dream Chaser Spaceplane by Sierra Nevada Corporation that just got revived by a newly awarded NASA contract to perform cargo resupply services to the International Space Station starting late 2021.
The end result is not an exact replica since I wanted to squeeze the cargo bay type fuselage for it to have an interior. This is modeled from the recent Cargo version which is intended for the CRS missions but I still included chairs and a simple cockpit display. Crew Version and a rocket version to follow soon. With just over 100 parts it should be mobile friendly for a craft with interior.
INSTRUCTION
AG Fold Wings + Slider 1 UP - Folds the wings upward
AG Flight Controls - Enables the Elevon (Elevator+Aileron) Control. No rudder.
*When gliding at low altitude avoid pitching the nose too high when airspeed is 90m/sec or lower as it is prone to stalling.
*The vacuum engines and it's fuel is to be used for orbital maneuvering and deorbit ONLY. the plane could take off using the engines but would only reach up to 2000mtrs altitude before fuel runs out. (Used only for gliding tests)
*In case you missed the runway in a glide landing attempt, just ditch into the water. It'll float like a boat with no water intrusion inside the hold guaranteed.
