PAC P1A Eagle

I run a fictional nation on nationstates called Pavelania. That nation has a couple of aviation companies, and Pavelania Aircraft Company (or PAC) is the largest. The P1A Eagle was Pavelania's first domestically designed and built airplane. It first flew in 1917 and was put to wide-spread use by 1918. It was used in the military and civilian service. It was best at being a mailplane that would also deliver light cargo in it's front cargo hold (could't animate it on S.P.). That cargo hold could also be taken out and be used for a 2nd seat or an extra fuel tank to increase the aircraft's already long range. The P1A features a NP-1 V4 80-100HP (250HP in S.P.) Piston engine with a fixed-pitch wooden prop. The airplane is incredibly easy to fly and was quite fast for it's time. The P1A is also fully aerobatic. The P1A however cannot be taxied on the ground since early bi-planes used a tailskid instead of a tailwheel. The P1 Eagle was produced from 1918 to 1930 as a military fighter. After that it continued production until 1965 as a civilian aircraft. The P1 was the most successful and most produced airplane in Pavelania. The P1 Eagle is also comparable to the Piper J-3 Cub, Aeronca Champ and Chief, Luscombe Silvair, ERCO Ercoupe, and the Taylorcraft.
