Consolidated PBY Catalina

To fly - not a very good plane for flying (on this game of course). Set Trim slider to the bottom and leave it there. Take off at around 140 mph, once it reaches 160mph + the nose wont tilt down as much. Lands and takes off from water, it is a boat plane.

    Thank you! Unfortunate straight after I posted it I noticed it has trouble leaving the water as well. Should I post the fixed version? @Elicushman
