These things liked making their pilots sick...and dead by flying upside down and then nose diving
@DandruffCat Yeah, you did it well! I have a few more 1934 raceplanes on my account already :D
edit I mean Seabo14 this account is a collab account xD
@BoatyPlanes I'm planning on it. I did the Gee Bee first because it is more iconic.
@DandruffCat @lapisGamerYT Every Gee-Bee racer won all races they entered in, except the Q.E.D, which lost the 1934 race. :D DandruffCat, how about a Granville Q.E.D next?
@lapisGamerYT Not sure if did win any, I just know it's a racer.
a little to fat
@lapisGamerYT Just like the real thing
Its the freaking Italian plane from the movie planes
