Very very quickly made triplane, not the highest quality of aircraft, but hey, I need some way to channel my Battlefield 1 hype (Yeah, Battlefield 1, you heard me right). She likes to lean to the left on takeoff for some reason, haven't figured it out yet, also, the cockpit is unusable, use the camera instead.

I managed to make the modifications, though I did also have to enlarge the fin to give it enough stability to get it off of the ground with some rudder assist to keep it from wandering all over the place, as well as tinker with the wheels to keep them from falling off upon the plane loading. In the end, I managed to make it fly surprisingly well considering how much trouble I had keeping it straight long enough to achieve flying speed. I did make all of the front main wings unstaggered and mounted as far forward as possible, as well as putting two pairs of wings around the middle of the fuselage, thus converting it into the Fokker V8 (I did leave the fuselage and skid alone as they were fine.
@LightMindedJedi Feel free to.
I was thinking about modifying this to the Fokker V8 at some point (it had two additional sets of wings just behind the cockpit) to see if I can make it fly properly.
@Brields95 Danke.
@OldColonel @Waemoth @ccooper @General360 @ChaMikey Thanks guys!
@Supercraft888 I can see what I can do, do you want it to have wings just like the ones off the F-35? Or anything more specific?
sniping biplane pilots off ftw! :D
Very nice! I also have a question, can you help me with the wings for my f-35?
