Built in 1934, the DeHavilland Dh.88 "Comet" was developed specifically to participate in the MacRobertson air race, a long-distance race from London to Melbourne. It won the race after a 70h55min flight with a cruise speed of about 220mph and a top speed of 237mph. The triumph of the "Comet" set the entry into the use of modern techniques.
In order to be as realistic as possible with this build, the aircraft is a but sluggish and hard to handle at first, but I promise that with a tiny bit of practice it's really fun and challenging to fly!
Flight instructions in the "show instructions" option in-game.
Have fun!

It flies very nice
@Barthelemy I wonder if you’re planning to make any new builds.
@Barthelemy I wonder if you could recolor this into the black magic variant.
Very nice, great job!!
@Tang0five thank you so much!
Tragically short of attention - great work!
