50.4k Stingray  9.7 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Stingray's Spruce Goose II Air-Sea Improved

Scale model - dimensions patterned on the Howard Hughes Spruce Goose. This FLYS - Sea or Land launch! Very easy, Full power, Full stick back. In water, always have gear retracted first. DO NOT land on water unless level and under 200 mph Enjoy (it's a bit awkward in air) but the island and sea views are good!

    @planesnthings Added flotation, added a small boost in thrust, changed pontoon shape, tweaked wings + tail.

    Thx @jacobhardy64 This model actually is the most user-friendly Spruce Goose I've created so far, I hope others like it. The wings t-tail and floats are a real pain to get balanced correctly.
