@QingyuZhou just uploaded the modified version, giving you credit for most of the work. it is a little finicky taking off, but it needs little to no trim once it hits over 220 mph
Noice. Can't wait to see it @LightMindedJedi
@QingyuZhou just tweaked the shape of the main wing and horizontal stabilizer. It took a bit of effort to lift off of the water, but once it got airborne, it flew quite well. the layout is still the same, the shape is merely altered to match the plans better. I may try to make my own equivalent sometime.
Okay then @LightMindedJedi
@QingyuZhou just a little to match the schematics better. I can use trim to compensate to some extent for nose heaviness or tail heaviness.
Okay... so are you going to tweak on this @LightMindedJedi
unless I am mistaken, the 314 had wider wing roots and greater taper. Oh well, I will make the changes when I try it out in a while.
Turns out one of these monstrosities was attacked during Pearl Harbor. It lived as well as the passengers and crew.
@QingyuZhou no problem. Can't wait to see more
Sweet build! Keep up the good work!
Yeah thanks and I mainly build vehicles and airliners @EternalDarkness
I haven't noticed your builds earlier. Now you have a new follower, so I don't miss the future ones ;)
