Interwar Reconnaissance!

The Bréguet 27 was a reconnaissance aircraft designed for the Armée de L'Air (French Air Force) in the late 1920s. It was a sesquiplane, meaning that the lower wing was significantly smaller than the upper, unlike biplanes which have two lifting surfaces of relatively equal area. Only one "Bréguet 27" was produced as a prototype with later versions, of which over 200 were built, being designated as the Bréguet 270. These aircraft remained in service with the French throughout the 1930s until the outbreak of WWII in Europe. This particular plane has a fictional registration and markings (including my name) as it is not a replica of an individual aircraft.

I found this model while searching through a big catalogue of aircraft. There were many versions of this aircraft made, and there are limited images available from the 1930s, so this isn't a perfect replica but rather a mix of reality and my own creation. Nonetheless, I tried to make this plane as easy and fun to fly as possible and I hope you enjoy!

    @SilverStar yeah, the real plane supposedly had a 500hp engine but sp engines are wonky.
    Found this plane when looking through a model airplane catalogue, just chose some random ones and googled them.

    Nice build, it flies nicely but it is maybe a bit too powerful.
    Where did this build idea come to your mind?

    @Timplanes , This is a good idea that gets complicated over time. Keep it up.
