The H1 Racer was a plane built by Howard Hughes to try to break the land speed record. He was successful in his tries, making the new record 352 MPH. He later crashed it, but said that he can rebuild it better. That he did, breaking another record. He broke the record of the shortest transcontinental flight. He set the record to 7 hours, 28 minutes, and 25 seconds.
P.S. Those are retractable gear, even if they don’t seem like it.

@DandruffCat good, can't wait to see the final product!
@Deloreandude Production has began
@Deloreandude Thank you for the feedback, I will look over more diagrams to try to make it more scale. It appears you are a fan of Hughes as well. Also, correct. Its rare to see an H1, especially one with great detail.
Looks Great! However, there still are a few slightly off features. The aircraft you constructed has a great look to it, the wings arent blocky like the stock ones in the game, so that's great! The real H-1 had slightly longer landing gear and a just slightly longer body. The tail was also slightly larger. Preformance-wise, this meets the speed the real thing achieved, which is awesome! Fantastic job on this aicraft overall, It looks and preforms great. It's rare to see an H-1 on the site, and its great when you can find one that can fly well and this is one of those aircraft! :D
