Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's DIY Flying Boat
An empire class flying boat from the days between the two world wars, these aircraft subsidized by the Post Office where the internet of the age delivering news and people a cross the surface of the civilised world (and some bits that are still far from civilised). Four 700hp engines and fixed angle three blade props make her capable of more than 200mph but she's more suited to a relaxed cruise than a sprint. The landing gear is a little compromised but gives you the flexibility to operate off long landing strips as well as water although she's happier in the water with the gear folded up. Credit to @A5mod3us for making the Hull and Floats.

25.2k A5mod3usNot bad. The control surfaces need some tweaking as it's not very responsive to control input, but other than that, it's a solid plane. Great use of those sea-plane parts!9.2 years ago
