An albatross flying above water

The Albatross 3 is a extremely large (wingspan is ~31.75 meters) stock plane that is capable of long planetary flights. In the stock version the wings are very flexible so additional bracing is advantageous especially as they may fall off in tight maneuvers. Its design somewhat compares to Rutan Voyager. The 3 in its name may be a reference to Disney's Rescuers franchise. The name is somewhat ironic, considering the Albatross bird has one of the longest wingspans in the animal kingdom.

Description

The Albatross 3 is a low-speed, long-range aircraft, capable of stable sustained flight for hours on end.
Its very long wings will flex quite a bit, but the flight operations handbook says that's "most likely normal".
It also recommends always using rudder and ailerons combined to turn it.
