PAC P4B Rocket Pigeon

Here is the much improved "B" model of the Pigeon series over the "A" model.

P4B Rocket Pigeon

The P4B "Rocket" Pigeon was a next step in the design series.
The P4B over the P4A featured a fully inclosed cockpit canopy providing the pilot max comfort, and a new, 3 bladed constant speed prop with an sharp prop hub. This has drastically increased the P4B's performance, with a new cruising speed of at least 200 knots, and because of the new performance numbers, the P4B was actually certified for light aerobatics. It uses the same exact R-985 as the P4A, the only difference is the 3-bladed constant speed prop, which bites more air. Out of all the P4 models, this was probably the most popular/most sold model. Enjoy and happy flying!

AG-8 = Nav, Beacon, Strobe Lights
AG-7 = Landing Lights

NOTE: DO NOT maneuver this plane in slow motion because strangely parts will start exploding. Don't know why this happens and I'm not gonna bother try fixing it. Just avoid slow motion in this airplane.
