Paulus Model 9

2,113 Turdy1  8.3 years ago

Our first attempt at a large design, The Model 9 is a Light Patrol Bomber. It features a crew of three, a considerable bombload, and two guns for strafing targets. Unfortunately, It proved to be a bit of a handful to fly, with trim adjustments being nessecary for stable flight, though the aircraft can be brought to full power on takeoff.

    @Liquidfox Well, good luck with that. I held off on unveiling this to try and work out the problems, but I couldn't find a solution. Can't wait to see the resulting Fox-Paulus design, though.

    @Liquidfox You're gonna hate this one. I hate it. You don't fly it, you balance it.
