Neiuport 17

1,705 Vantage  8.4 years ago

Done the skies over france in the stunning new wooden flying machine! Why who wouldn't want to be a pilot of the brand new Neiuport 17! The finest aircraft in the French air aresnal it was used by multiple powers on both sides during the war and was one of the best fighters in the great war. Inspired by the sopwith camel and DR.1 builds i found and loved i was able to frankienstein together what i think is a rather good and simple replica of the mighty French fighter. Be careful on take off as she can roll a little bit and watch your speed in the air because its not the fastest machine out there. Full credit to the creators of both the sopwith camel and the DR.1 as i pulled bits and peices off each build to use for things i couldnt do on my own. Have fun and enjoy casually flying about
