1000 points baby!!
Thanks to @OtakuSquirrel for engine
Short Introduction
The Klemm kl 25 was a German made leisure civilian plane as well as a trainer manufactured by the klemm company!
More than 600 aircraft were built, and manufacturing licenses were sold to the United Kingdom and the United States.
Stats
The klemm was actually quite widely used in Germany and the US and still no one made one yet.
About 700 were made, including license built US models.
As far as I know, it's the third oldest still-flying plane on germany and there are at least 3 models in Germany, most of which can fly

@StraitAircraft I will not be active on this platform for awhile as I have some issues to deal with. I promise once I have delt with these issues I will get back to commenting and making planes

And so many more for my 1000 ;)
All of you have inspired me to improve my builds and make a name (shitty as can be) for myself in this website. You guys are truly wonderful people, and I appreciate all you do for the international aviation community!
This is the finished post, I wonder why yall up vote the post that I haven't even completed yet 🤔
@StraitAircraft you can always go with the French Salmson 5-cylinder radial engine or use the covered 4-cylinder inline engine of the first German versions. I can post the plans on Discord, but you can just as easy get them from Richard Ferriere's plan repository http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/3vues.html
@Sockdragger hello. Engine is to complicated to simplify
@Sockdragger Bet >:)
@Sockdragger :(
Yeah thanks though! Appreciate it
Ps, you up for a challenge? You have ten days to make a version at half the size (13m/42 ft span) and enter it in https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/n10802/Early-Aviation-Challenge
If it flies as good as this one, you're a serious contender
It is twice as big as the original and the fuselage is a bit more rounded than the pictures show, but apart of that it's a nice flyer and worth downloading.
Also.... Congratulations on your first 1000.
Gratz on silver Straity!
Congratulations
