PRE-Flight Apollo 11 Eagle Moon Lander Model For Free Download

Moon LanderAnnouncing the Apollo 11 Eagle Moon Lander by PRE-Flight RC Simulator. The Eagle Moon Lander was designed and built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering at a cost of around $350 million. Ungainly as it looked, the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module - its official title) was the most reliable component of the Apollo system, the only one never to have suffered a major failure.

The Eagle Moon Lander was designed and built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering at a cost of around $350 million. Ungainly as it looked, the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module - its official title) was the most reliable component of the Apollo system, the only one never to have suffered a major failure.

Flown into history by Neil Armstrong - the first man to set foot on the moon, the LEM was surprisingly fragile. A strong finger poke would be enough to puncture its skin, which in places was as thin as 2 layers of aluminum foil.

If you have the "right stuff", fly this super scale model of the Eagle which features gold foil coverings, rocket sound, full 6-degrees of freedom controls, 1/6th moon gravity physics, and more.
