Pilot: Makes an ever so slightly rough landing.* Rear facing props: That wasn't good enough, I'ma explode now.*@RamboJutter
@RamboJutter oooooh so the shafts of the engines go through each other, right?
(don't take that out of context)
Engineers looking at blueprint: ....i feel like it needs more props. @RamboJutter
@RamboJutter unfortunately not. It’s one of those planes that seems to have mostly been forgotten to history, or at least by the masses.
@Thundrhawk1 it has 2 engines both driving 2 contra rotating props. So weighs about as much as most twin engine fighters.
@ChiChiWerx thanks :) I was wondering about the evolution of the American roundels, I didn't realise the significance of the older symbols, thanks for the info.
@Mustang51 yeah I saw that, wasn't a replica really was it.
Four props? with all those engines it must be very heavy...
Flies well, very fun. I especially like the livery, a bit more fantastical, which is fun. Great details, such as the wheel wells, though I would have named the post “early USAAF (U.S. Army Air Forces) version”.
@RamboJutter ahhh that makes sense since they have a similar feel to them but the opening at the bottom front of the cowling gives it the merlin mustang vibe. Did you know someone made an awful replica of one with Mustang wings in real life.
@Mustang51 more from the Martin baker mb5 to be honest.
Was the nose/fuselage inspired by a Mustang at all?
Very nice plane . Great job my friend .
