Avionet C.7

still undone, needs cockpit instruments yet

i have some time ago the plans to remaster my sopwith camel biplane, but i had a better idea, recreate it with my style. so how was born this biplane.

Avionet came from the spanish word "avioneta" that is a way to name the small propeller driven planes, generally with a unrespectul meaning, is just another fictional brand that came from my butt (XD)

the design is generally based on a sopwith camel, but with a lot of changes, it must be heavier for some size changes, also is a little bit faster (4 knots) and the armament is the biggest diference.

instead the standard .303 vickers machine guns, the Avionet C.7 is equipped with twin semi automatic shotguns, the shotguns itself are created by my knowledge, but my inspiation came from a extremely rare weapon named the Punt Gun, that was a HUGE canon that shot shotgun shells to eliminate around 50 to 100 birds in just one shot, the rounds were MASSIVE, with around of half kilogram of weight per bullet. sadly is not much specs of that weapons, but have a tiny range, but with a wide range of damage.

i still have to create the cockpit interior and make some small alignments in the flight system, but is totally flyable
