SE5a

1,065 derjohannes  5.1 years ago

R.A.F. SE5a, famous british WWI fighter.

Easy built and easy to mod SE5a.

Flies just great and simple.

The rudder did not turn out to be perfect, but it should just be an impression of my favourite WWI airplane.
The Lewis machine gun with drum magazine on top of the upper wing is functional, while the Vickers machine gun on the upper left side of the fuselage is for decoration purposes only, since having it functional would cause the plane to crash due to shooting your own airscrew (as in my Fokker E3).

Have fun with this little biplane!
