Schneider Trophy Deperdussin

9,545 Wormforce  9.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's Schneider Trophy Challenge (closed)

Only one french plane won the Coupe so I had no choice except reproducing this little beast :)
This Aircraft was the winner of the 1913 Schneider Coupe piloted by Prevost. It was almost entirely made out of wood and was able to go over 200 km/h. Hope you will enjoy it !
