The M2 series, along with the HL-10 and the X-24A, was one of the famous lifting-body testbeds of the mid-late 1960's.
The M2-F1 was the first, proving the concept as simply as possible with a plywood frame and a tow vehicle. At first, the tow vehicle was a hot-rodded car. Later, the M2-F1 graduated to being towed behind a C-47 (a DC-3).
The M2-F2 was a heavier-weight rocket-powered testbed, built to be dropped by the NASA NB-52.
Roll instability led to a crash of the M2-F2; by adding a center fin, the instability was mostly cured, and the rebuilt craft was called the M2-F3.
You will need Project X-15's B-52 and Edwar ds AFB to run almost any of the scenarios.
You will need Tether MFD to run the M2-F1 scenarios.
In order to bail out from the M2's, you'll need the MOOSE add-on contained within my Dyna- Soar v1.3 (or later) add-on.
