PBY Catalina-5A

9,817 ThunderNova  7.8 years ago

Where do I even start?! I love this plane to death. Just like the real one you can take her in the water, out of the water, on land, heck! You can pull her up to the beach and go for a drive! ACT-1 lets your retract the gear by using VTOL UP. ACT-2 retracts the floats, also VTOL UP. ACT-3 TRIM DOWN lets you use the flaps, she likes to dive so I would highly recommend using them :) I hope you guys have as much fun as I do flying this! ENJOY!

    I hadn't flied it until this morning. Looks great but she nose dives and doesn't fly due to the CG. Not your fault but this can be fixed.

    @ThunderNova Thanks to my old first gen. Kindle, It is a bit too laggy for it to handle.

    The flaps don't seem to do anything. Other than that, great job!
