Fairy 5 - MK 1

231 Ultra5  7.7 years ago

This nifty little plane is my first civilian plane. Its ultra-light and surprisingly fast. My speed record is about 370 MPH. It is also fairly agile and easy to land. It's also capable of gliding. You can get a really clean take-off if you bring the trim all the way down. I plan to add a water-based take-off and landing feature.

BTW I put some guns on it and put it up against my Vought F4U Corsair (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/n985WB/Vought-F4U-Corsair-MK-2) and it took it down like it was nothing.
