A small and powerful gull winged fighter, it was designed with power and manuverability in mind, however, due to the prejudice towards monoplane fighters at the time, it was not ordered into production until later in the 30’s and was considered obsolete by the time it saw it’s first combat operations. However, it was able to put up a good resistance due to it’s superior manuverability.

This aircraft is pretty outstanding in terms of its maneuverability, and it has no shortage of power. It’s also armed with a small autocannon and two Wing MG’s. It’s extremely fun to fly as usual, and has fixed landing gear. However, try to be aware of its bouncy landing characteristics. It’s based on the real life Ikarus IK-2. Thanks to @EternalDarkness on the SPBC Discord for the airplane suggestion!
