EE PPC "Twighlight Tadpole"

7,219 AquiliusEpic  2.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Pusher Aircraft Challenge [CLOSED]

The PPC is Epic Engineering's entry to the Pusher Aircraft Challenge by WinsWings.
A vintage biplane design heavily based on the Airco DH2 of World War One Fame, this biplane offers simple handling in a not-so-simple fuselage.
Great visibility offers this aircraft a massive advantage in the reconnaissance role, with its machine gun being able to bring hostile aircraft down with haste.

One aircraft from one of the earliest factory batches was sent out to the frontline for combat evaluation. Earning the nickname "Twighlight Tadpole" due to its unconventional looks and its use in the waning hours of the day, the rookie pilot may have been able to live longer than many of his wingmen and score some early successes, but still has a lot to learn.

Thank you very much for your interest in our products. Aftermarket upgrades and modifications are highly encouraged. If questions arise, feel free to ask.

Albeit a dated model, this other WW1-era aircraft is still fun to fly
