OK. So Puff the Giant Seaplane wasn't enough....I wanted something to replicate the largest flying boat in the world...The Spruce Goose. Its Max Takeoff was designed at 400,000#. Excuse the unconventional biplane design. I could not zoom out enough to make conventional wings. Again, for takeoff, 100% throttle, 50% up elevator, wait for 185 and go 75% up elevator.

You can make it heavier by adding fuel to the wings and fuselage under the wings. She will take off from land and fly gently at over 710,000#.

    Technicality here. If you are referencing the dinosaur, the correct way to spell it is GiganOtosaurus. Most people forget that extra "o". Anyway... Great plane!
