Boeing Model 1

2,416 CoolNameHere  2.5 years ago

Also known as the B & W Seaplane, this was the first plane William Boeing, founder of Boeing (who else could it be), helped build. It’s pretty slow, but it works! I added actual landing gear for land use, and the plane was always ready for sea use.

Water Takeoff: Get to 53 mph then pull up, until you lift off. After that, set the trim because this plane is a little front heavy.

Regular Takeoff: Pretty much the same.

Be careful. This stalls really easily, as it is very slow.
