Fixed Model of my H1
Special thanks to @Pilotmario and @Lickster for helping with engine problems, but I found it is best as I left it.
The H1 Racer was a plane built by Howard Hughes to try to break the land speed record. He was successful in his tries, making the new record 352 MPH. He later crashed it, but said that he can rebuild it better. That he did, breaking another record. He broke the record of the shortest transcontinental flight. He set the record to 7 hours, 28 minutes, and 25 seconds.
P.S. Those are retractable gear, even if they don’t seem like it.
