Although the mk.1c was supposed to be the last one, I decided to make another whirlwind. I made a lot of them actually, but they were mostly just small variations leading up to this one. Now it's a much better dogfighter and is much faster, due to the frontal engine being removed. The new power plant is a contra-rotating prop at the back, and new rudders have been introduced in order to increase stability.
