The P1D was the final official P1 Eagle model. The P1D was the ultimate P1 Eagle for it's time, an experimental light fighter designed for the PAF's light fighter requirments. The P1D is essentually a redesigned P1 Eagle, with the wood-fabric replaced with an aluminium skins and struts. The only fabric was the flight controls. The P1D featured the experimental NP-6 Mk.II V8 engine produced in limited quantities, primarily for the P1D project. The P1D also featured a bubble canopy, and retracting landing gear. While the P1D was considered a great success at being a light fighter, it never saw production. This is due to the flight dynamics being heavily flawed. While 2 were only built, the first P1D known as "X-1" crashed, killing the pilot when the pilot was performing an extreme flight controls and flight dynamics test and entered into a flat spin/death spiral when he pitched over very hard, and pushed the plane into an unrecoverable, upside down spin, killing the pilot on impact. The pilot attemped to bail but was stuck under the extreme G's in the spin and was unable to break open the canopy. It was discovered that the P1D could easily enter un-recoverable spins because of it's top wing set. Several windtunnel models without the top wing set showed MUCH better performance, and a higher top speed without that death spiral/spin risk. A P1D mock-up with the top wing-set removed was presented, with the PAF pleased, but nevertheless, the light fighter program was canceled, along with the P1D as well. The surving P1D was put into storage throughout the North Atlantic War and was put in a museum after the war ended in 1992.

As of 2017, a P1D replica was built, and is the closest plane flying like the P1D. The P1D replica currently goes to air shows, fly-ins, and air races (primarily bi-plane class reno-style course).

AG-1 = Nav, Beacon, Strobe lights
AG-2 = Landing Lights
AG-3 = Arm .50 cal guns
VTOL = Constant speed prop pitch (can edit to auto-pitch if it's too difficult for you to mantain manual control)

DISCLAIMER: This plane suffers the risk of going into an unrecoverable, inverted flat spin if you push the plane over/down too much. Please do not push over the plane too hard.
