PEP-1 "Stanley"
This is a fictional aircraft based off of the pusher aircraft of the First World War. Without synchronization gear, the Entente powers used other methods, such as a Lewis Gun on a foster mount or, as in this case, a pusher configuration aircraft to allow a machine gun to fire forward without striking the propeller. This aircraft was fun to design, featuring my articulated cockpit, a large four cylinder inline engine, twin forward-firing machine guns, etc. It is a little sluggish on handing, reminiscent of some early war aircraft, and feels somewhat tailheavy as many First World War airplanes did. However, it is stable and holds its own well, and it's a real joy to fly. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did building it!
