Barnstormer Biplane

It's just after the war. With just a few dollars in your pocket, you were going to do something that would have been impossible just twenty years ago. Soon, you were looking at a crate, one that contained your very own airplane. After some assembly (and a box of spare parts, although no spare parts were included...) you were going to fly. This aircraft, inspired by the JN-4 Jenny and the J-1 Standard, features two open cockpits, a four-cylinder inline engine, exhaust that is expelled over the top wing so you're not inhaling fumes, and large landing gear skids so you don't end up on your nose or back too often. The plane is a real joy to fly, and I hope you enjoy flying it as much as I enjoyed building it!

    @SMHrubix Thank you! I spent a lot of time getting this plane to feel just right, and I think I did a pretty good job of it!
