My second attempt at making the "Spruce Goose". The bulkead is actually hollow on this version. She cruises at around 170 at 85% and flys pretty level. I added two JATO boosters that are detachable. It will take off and fly without them, but I thought it would be fun to add them. This is not a fast aircraft because it's big. I tried to make it look like the IRL H-4. I welcome your feedback. Enjoy!
