A-2 Excelsior

4,407 CaptBlackadder  7.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on CaptBlackadder's Very large plane

This Beast of an aircraft is capable of carrying thousands of pounds of cago or passangers over large distances. The A-2 Excelsior is a very flyable craft, especially considering its enormous size. The VTOL controlled flaps make any take off or landing easy for any pilot. This build was started on my phone but soon its wingspan became a problem, even soon this monster was at the limit of my computer's range. I hope you enjoy, should be moble friendly (works for me).

    Flies like a dream...a very slow and heavy one, but a dream nonetheless

    Thank you, I visted the Sprice Goose a month or two ago and I was inspired, but I didn't want to make an exact replica @KSPFSXandSP
