\/\/\/\DE HAVILLAND SERIES PLANE.1/\/\/\/

This is a remake of a plane I made 4 months ago

This plane was developed for the lympne light aircraft trials in 1923 it was powered by a 26hp Blackburne Tomtit air-cooled inverted V-twin that can take this bird up to a top speed of 73mph unfortunately the only flying survivor that was displayed and flown at the shuttleworth collection UK crashed in 2012 unfortunately killing the head pilot at shuttle this was because of the aircrafts tiny weight it weighed a little more than a fully grown man and acts like a kite on the wind.

TO FLY:::
full throttle to take off. Pitch down to get tail up at 40-50mph. It shall nowtake to the skies on its own. Carefull she is very slow so go easy on her in turns and steep climbing


HAVE FUN:

PS: hope you guys like the new description format :D
