cough So this was inspired by Howard Hughes’ aircraft, The Hercules Nicknamed; “The Spruce Goose”. The aircraft can only take off and land on water, so dont try any sneaky stuff... XD. A good landing would be around 20 - 25% Throttle, A good takeoff would be full throttle as the aircraft is heavy. The rudder on the bottom is for easy control in the water. The aircraft suprisingly has realistic handling. The Cockpit was not made by me, just to let you know. Hope you will enjoy it.
