Flyer transports

Just another pair of Q...

Q1)
The SM Thunderhawk can trasport 6 SM stands... they must be Infantry
stands? Can I transport Dreads or Bikes instead? I look at the new
model (big!) and it doesn't seem too weird... (I remember that in the
original GW idea the T-hawk can carry a full SM Company from the
ships above the planet and the surface, but this is a bit too
much... :P).

Maybe 5 Bikes is not so practical, but 4 Dreads instead of 6 Infantry
can fit just about nicely... comments?

Q2)
Flyers follow all the rules for transport vehicles? Bail out saves,
combined movement between cargo and passengers... etc.

Example: I have a T-hawk transporting 6 SM Tactical stands. If the T-
hawk travels 50cm and deploy them, have each Infantry stand only 5cm
left of their movement? I cannot argue it from the rules, and in our
club we treat transport flyers in a different manner, so the
passengers have their FULL movement when they disembark (the T-hawk
is faster than a Rhino, so the passengers have more time to act when
they arrive at destination).

Tnx in advance! ^^
