This is my rendition of the Short S 29 Stirling, which is a four-engined bomber from World War 2. My rendition looks like the B-17's wings were grafted onto the plane, and the cockpit resembles the B-17's as well but the rest is to the best of my knowledge similar enough. This does take quite a while to get off the ground due to being overweight, but at least it is capable of maintaining a constant climb unassisted (the angle of attack is somewhere around 10-15 degrees when climbing without trim) and is surprisingly agile for a plane of its size and weight.
