DH-88 Comet (prototype)
CONTROLS-
group one- gear
group two- prop
This 1930s British racer is a true beauty. Only five were made and only still, three have survived. that would be the Black Magic, Grosvenor House, and the G-ACSR. I made the third one because I like the colors and it won the MacRobertson Race and set a new record of 13 1/2 days (facts from wikipedia). My version takes off well, but has a nose down effect (again). but that seems to be the only issue. I would easily fix it, but my center of lift will not show up so I will have to trial and error this one (which might be tough because id have to move the wings around and it was a pain to get the engines like that without modding). This planes top speed is around 300 mph while the actual is 230 mph, but its close enough. Body work I think turned out very well, and the handling is good. A solid plane and easily one of my favorites.
