so i loaded up the old albatross and i couldnt fly it. there is no cosmetic change. wings have been added, there fore the take off speed has been lowered to 55 m/s and overall handling has been improved dramatically.
the albatross is the largest flying boat i have built so far to see just how far i could take RATO seaplanes.
overall this craft is capable of housing 5 kerbals and has decent cargo storage with a decent bit of fuel.
top speed is about 150 m/s without afterburners.
handling is sluggish as to be expected from this type of plane.
action 1 for RATO, action 2 for cargo doors and action 3 for flaps.
If you're looking to fill the gap of a PBY-5 catalina this is pretty close. big, check, seaplane, check slow and relatively easy to fly? check
