This is a fix for version 1.7 since my flaps were all busted in the update.
The Hughes H-1 is a racing aircraft built by Hughes Aircraft in 1935. It set a world airspeed record and a transcontinental speed record across the United States.
Instructions: VTOL for flaps & landing gear for gear. Built by Walrus Sr. and tested by Walrus Jr.
Note, I used a custom skybox mod for the designer. I'll try to release that sometime soon.

@WalrusAircraft Indeed, Suffering from OCD & Fear of bacteria?
@Othawne - Mental illness was misunderstood then and it is now. I wonder how modern medicine could have helped him.
@WalrusAircraft None at all. Howard Hughes's story is quite sad.
@Othawne - I watched that movie some time ago. It is not as bad as the critics say.
@PlanesOfOld what about the Westland Wyvern?
Beautiful
I Remember watching ''The Aviator'' seeing this aircraft.
Not sure why it was rated a relatively bad movie, i mean it has DiCaprio what could go wrong.
Thanks man. @SpiritusRaptor
Love what you have done with the landing gear!
here's a video of the most powerful piston engined fighter ever built it was a beautiful plane compared to contemporary radial engined planes from other nations (Russia,Germany and France for example) and it was a worthy adversary to the Mig 15. No video captured the sound sight and smell of a sea fury hurtling past at 430mph, it is not as elegant as a Merlin or griffon but tres something about the sea fury that just doesn't happen with spitfires, it's a distinct difference. But both sound incredible... @WalrusAircraft
How VERY dare you, it's beautiful! And sounds even better, sea fury ASMR, better than griffon engines... @WalrusAircraft
@PlanesOfOld Wait nevermind it's kinda ugly. I was thinking of the contra-rotating prop Spit
@PlanesOfOld Oooh a sea fury. Pretty plane that one is
I will be trying that some day! Looks like it could be good for the sea fury I plan on building @WalrusAircraft
Thank you. I used a wheel to get the coweling shape. Nice to hear from you. (walrus Sr.) @PlanesOfOld
I relate to Hughes, we both have OCD but thankfully the miracles of modern medicine have stopped my symptoms being as... Disabling as Hughes' prehaps I am a reincarnation of mr Hughes. I like peas and before I started said medicine, like Hughes sorted them by size, a tedious but absolutely neccacary process... I also used to wash my hands on average 40 times a day.... It's a shame no one understood mental health problems back then, he also had chronic pain everywhere and wearing clothes hurt, poor guy. RIP. @WalrusAircraft
Very nice shapes, i just love the coweling!
Awesome!
Cool!
Thanks. I think I’m going to just try to draw my own skybox. How hard could it be? I created a pure white background which I think is needed as well in the game. @BogdanX @Ryn176
Elon Musk is our Hughes reincarnated today @Liquidfox
@BogdanX Very true
