Big Bubble

105k RailfanEthan  7.6 years ago

There's a large variety of controls. Please read them before operation.

The Big Bubble is the successor of the failed "Sudsy" dive bomber. It's also a store/value brand PBY Catalina. Included is two torpedos for turning ships into rice crispies, observation windows for spotting targets, and moveable props.

Controls:
1 activates engine for torpedos
2 & 3 drop torpedos
4 + pitch down ALLOWS TAKEOFF FROM WATER
Don't touch 5, it doesn't want to touch you
6 and 7 are seperate landing gear types. Floation devices should be down when water landing. Wheels should be retracted upwards except for landing.
8 is lights.

Keep in mind:
-Launch torpedos at 1mi or larger distances.
-Don't yank hard on pitch - you'll get into a dive
-Suggested landing speed: 120-95mph

Credit to MrMecha for giving me a modded VTOL engine.

Enjoy!
