Third attempt at the H-4 Hercules 'Spruce Goose'. After reading some of the specs on this behemoth I renamed my older one the 'mini' and tried to make this one bigger. She's big, slow and surprisngly stable (kind of how I imagine the IRL H-4 would be). I'm open to suggestions on how to improve this beast. I'm still not even close to the specs of the H-4. 218 ft long, 320 ft wingspan.
