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.

    Nice subject, nice build. The engine must be XML modded for 5x power or something as it accelerates like a scalded cat!
