This monstrosity is reproduction of Caproni Ca.60 flying boat from 1920's. Water take-off and landing only. It can actually fly...
Unfortunately I lack the skills and patience to make this exact replica.

@ThePropellerIsAFan Thanks! I have odd fascination to planes with odd wing planforms or configurations. It is really satisfying when a reall oddball of a plane flies well (against all odds). That's also another reason for me not to make exact replicas; I can tweak planes to fly well without worrying missed accuracy.
To be honest, I did not expect it to fly as well as it did. (I thought it would be a lot slower) I put some landing gear on it and got it to land on the Beast. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with “The Monstrosity”. Keep up the good work!
@ThePropellerIsAFan thanks for the Upvote! How did you like my monstrosity?
