Weird, Wonky, Wonderful ,The Bellanca 77

From Wikipedia;

The Bellanca 77-140 Bomber was a bomber aircraft built in small numbers in the United States in the 1930s. It was a derivative of Bellanca's successful Aircruiser civil transport in which the Aircruiser's single, nose-mounted engine was replaced by twin engines on the upper wing. The United States military was not interested in the type, but the Colombian Air Force bought a small number, including a float-equipped version.

Introduction

Its biplane like appearance with an inverted gull wing lower wing gives the Bellanca 77 its signature look. The design is odd to me, so I decided to make a replica of it. My version is by no means the most accurate, thanks to there being little documentation or photos of the aircraft. But even so, I think it looks neat. There's something fascinating about aircraft from the 20s and 30s that I wish to capture.

Notes

This plane was made for a Maritime Patrol Challenge, so it is armed, not to the teeth, with a single torpedo and a single 50. Caliber machine gun in the nose turret. The real aircraft could have had many more guns mounted on it, but there was a part limit. I plan on making an Army Air Corps version as a land plane in the future.

Controls

Standart Aircraft Controls
Ag 1 & 2 for left and right engines
Ag7 to remove the plane from the trolley
Nose turret is controlled through camera aim
VTOL all the way up to fold the wings

You can take off from either water or land, but you will be questioned if you take off from land.
To take off from the water, set trim to 50 or 75% downwards. Activate both engines and push to full throttle. You may have to use yaw to keep the plane in line. At 80 mph, the plane will jump from the water, after that set trim to neutral and you’re good.

I learned about this plane through Youtube from a channel called Rex’s Hangar. Neat little channel if you’re interested in that. Truck on the background is from @pancelvonat
