    @Baldovino I finally managed to get something to fly with these limitations but she's a bear to keep in the sky! It's amazing that the real Fokker Dr.I actually weighed in at 1,290Lb or so at take-off.

    I've just uploaded my Micro Gull as another successor. If I'm not allowed a second entry it can just be another example plane.
