I was challenged to build the goose that is spruce and it turned out better than expected.

If you didnt know, the spruce goose, or the HFB-1 was commissioned by the US military as a large troop carrier with as little metal as possible, so they glued it.

My version is not to scale, but looks correct. sorry for the struts everywhere but things tend to get, floppy.

enter the water as slow as possible in order to land. Take-off is possible without after burners but just in case, its action 1.

Handling is greatly improved when jets are at full blast.

action 2 opens the nose door.

IF YOU LOSE CONTROL, tell SAS to point prograde and turn on afterburners

12m x 37m x39m at 116 tons. top speed 193 ms, with afterburners 325m/s
