The Spirit of St. Louis (Registration: N-X-211) is the custom-built, single engine, single-seat monoplane that was flown solo by Charles Lindbergh on May 20–21, 1927, on the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris. (Information gathered from Wikipedia) This is my build of the famous Spirit of St. Louis. You'll have to start in the air, I can't get it to take off from the ground. Throttle 100%, VTOL lever half down, action #6. Lindberg didn't have windshields in his cockpit, he used a periscope. I thought it fitting to render the cockpit view useless here. Also, I couldn't seem to land without the wings breaking off. I tried to use detachers to fortify them but it ruined the look. Your thoughts and opinions are welcome. Thanks for the support everyone. Happy Flying!
