This model of the hurricane was a cannon armed mkII painted all black to fly at night to shoot down German bombers over London and airfields usualy the squadron leader would paint the nose of his plane red
HISTORY OF PLANE TYPE

The hawker hurricane was first designed by Sydney Camm and was tested and first flew in 1935 it was to be powered by a 1,030 HP Rolls-Royce Merlin supercharged V12 and had a maximum speed of 328mph and was armed with either 8x browning machine guns or 4x 20mm Hispano cannons it could serve as a fighter intorceptor night fighter fighter bomber and ground attack aircraft and scored 60% of victories in the battle of Britan (not bad for a half fabric plane) so basicly we Brits owe ourselves to the "few" who flew the hurricanes they are unsung heroes and even more important in getting allied air superiority than the spitfire...

LAYOUT
The hurricane had the engine and fuel tank infront of the pilot who sat in a medium sized cockpit. Behind his seat and head was an armour plate and then behind that was a tail section made of a metal frame covered in canvas stretched then coated in some kind of sealant possibly pig fat, lard or varnish (yeah disgusting) this was what made the hurricane super reliable tho!

WHY IT WAS AWSOME
The canvas fuselage was easy to fix when it was damaged
All you had to do was stitch on a patch but with a spitfire you had to weld it on!
Even tho it was slower than its rivals it was twice as agile
The hurricane was super reliable (did I say that before?)
They were easy to mass produce
Famous pilots mostly flew hurricanes (including Douglas barder the famed ace with no legs)
And well IT WAS AWSOMELY EASY TO FLY LIKE THIS ONE!






HOPE YOU ENJOY :)

    @PlanesOfOld idk but you have to make sure a warbird like this one would not fall apart during an agressive pitch in a dogfight.. using the vertical is ESSENTIAL to ur survival in a dogfight

    @Zing2000 it shouldn't I have tested it in aerobatic flying strange may I suggest changing the shape of the elevators so they are slightly smaller idk why this thing can pull anything when I fly it... We're you pulling up aggressively? If you are that is pilot error never do any agressive pitches unless ur about to hit TEH ground ;)

    Pretty sweet but a bitor trivia having no legs while flying does not affect on your tolerance to g forces... I'm currently working on a supermarine spiteful so look forward to that :) . I had to deduct one star off my rating as when pitching up the whole tail section breaks off... Sorry
