My first good prop plane!
I must say I was inspired by Gestour's Sopwith Pup, go check it out!
I've been playing a lot of Battlefield One lately, so I wanted to build something from World War 1, and this is what I came up with! It is actually pretty nice to fly around, however it uses a weight reducer so crashing could cause some problems. Make sure to switch to the 2nd orbit camera, as the actual view is a little glitched. Anyways, have fun flying it!

Fun fact:
There is an episode in Talespin titled "Bygones", which features biplanes, that almost fully resemble the Airco Dh-5 except for the Spad-like engine cowling and exhaust pipes.
Flys very nicely, better than anything I could make XD
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! @Stingray
Crowd pleaser decals. The cross-wires are tricky, and well done. OK flying. Good build!
