It was a promising aircraft, and 100 were ordered but WW2 ended and the prototype crashed because of an oil leak, wich ment the proyect was to be canceled by the United States goverment. The plane was very handy at high speeds but had handling problems at lower altitudes, it was a hard plane to fly. Wich one the one hand its dangerous but on the other it could be a chalenge to IL-2 pilots therefore, fun!
Cheers!
Ah, the little b*gger almost killed Mr Hughes. :lol:
It's not a mixed power aircraft but it could have seen service (invasion of Japan?) if Hughes wasn't so picky with it and were given more materials to build it.
Scale comparision to a C-47! hock:
It's massive with a length of 218 ft, wingspan of 319 ft and height of 79 ft. It has the capacity to carry 750 fully armed troops or a Sherman tank. It has a range of 4,800 km cruising speed of 354 km/h and a service ceiling of 20,900 ft. It will probably be a massive challenge to fly and easy picking for just about anything making it therefore fun to fly.
