PBY Catalina stats?

[bigdamnhero]

Have any of you plane nuts* tried statting out a PBY Catalina? I could probably cobble one together from Wikipedia data, but I thought I'd see if someone more aircraft-savy had beaten me to it. I also need stats for a Heinkel He-51 (or something close) if anyone has them.

 

Thanks in advance.

My plane-fu is strong, but my HERO-fu is weak...

 

Actually, I have a half-draft done, I'll try to finish it and post it over the next day or two.

Thanks! I'm partway through a draft as well, so we can compare results.
