Catalina

709 SchrodingersOliver  5.5 years ago

The Catalina, a WW2 Seaplane used by the USAF and the RAAF. It was used mainly for submarine detection, off the North-East coast of Australia, near Cairns and Townsville. I was inspired to create this plane, as I’m in Australian Air Force Cadets and this is my squadron’s plane. It has no roll and is incredibly hard to control. If you can fix it- please do. Otherwise I shall go onto other projects. Thanks for reading this.-oliveCLONE600
