Hughes H-4 Hercules

1,082 ThePlaneCreator  8.9 years ago

A replica of one of the largest aircraft ever made, the H-4 Hercules. Commonly known as the Spruce Goose, this aircraft was made in 1947. Although it only hopped off the water, it still flew. Although in SimplePlanes it's quite different, it does fly very well. Approaching 130mph, hold down the "s" keep until your nose lifts up and watch her take to the skies. Made by ThePlaneCreator on January 9, 2016.

    @General360 Just so you know, this thing was frustrating in its early dev stages. It kept on wanting to go vertical. I fixed it by spamming dead weight in the frontal fuselages.
