X-Plane 10 Macchi-Castoldi M.C.72. The Macchi MC72 won the Schneider Trophy (1934 and 1935) for the fastest propellor powered seaplane with a speed of 440.681 mph. To this day, that speed record has still not been exceeded by any piston powered seaplane. The pilot of this incredible aircraft was Francesco Agello. The included documentation has information on the design philosophy, photos, pilot's notes and internet links for more details. By Billy Bargagliotti.
