    @DeezDucks LOL, yes, it is, but the actual plane's top speed was only 99MPH. I tried to further lower the HP rating of the engines, but found takeoff and landings to be rather more difficult than I would have liked.

    Amazing that this plane was the type used by Billy Mitchell to champion the idea of air power as the future of the US Navy rather than the Battleship.

    @DeezDucks Thanks very much! I was going for an underpowered 'lumbering' feel to it's flight, I welcome any feedback or suggestions, and hope you enjoy the model.
