[Short History]
The Riese Flugzeugwerke RF-10 D9 is a Trislandian main frontline fighter and is the last of the D-Variants, it was a good fighter aircraft, it was small and nimble, yet as with all Trislandian design, heavily armed, so its no slouch either, with the 3000hp VS-3000-V12 VK-12AU, it was fast as well, it is a worthy opponent to a lot of warbirds of the era

The Legend Of The Unrecoverable Taifun
[21st of March 2022]
"hello viewers, today we are hiking the Ruhr Valley just east of Straßburg, Wolfram District Trislandia, im not gonna tell you the exact location where im at, but, im actually here not because of the hiking part, while yes it is beautiful around here not gonna lie, i have another reason to be here...."
I think i have found it, that is it, this is the so called 'Unrecoverable Typhoon', or 'Taifun' if you are Trislandian, from my limited aviation knowledge, this is an RF-10 Taifun, i forgot which variant it was, i have to lookit up again, i think it was the 'D' variant, also known as the 'Dora', i just forgot which of the Dora's it was....
So the story goes that The Unrecoverable Taifun, this plane, is cruising around the Ruhr Valley, now usually mountains and valleys have a lot of unstable wind directions and speed, not to mention it is also foggy, it was a morning flight according to my sources
It encountered this turbulence which pushed the plane down rapidly into the valley, i think the pilot manages to pull up but later stalled out and get pushed fown again which it ends up here now, it hits a rock, the rock is here (pat the rocc), which bends and damages its left wing, lemme see if i can find the Werknummer, that is the identification numbers for Trislandia Luftwaffe aircrafts if you're not aware
I will show you the historical picture of the plane later, which i probably already did by the time you watched this, but yeah, that is the plane, the pilot apparently survived the crash, and judging by the conditions and where i found this at...., yeah there's no real chance that you can recover this, especially in 1941, maybe, someday, there will be someone who will recover the plane and restore it to what it used to be, we'll see....
today is 2025, and you have recovered the Unrecoverable Taifun, now what will you do to it? Impress me
If you think this is underpowered, because it is, its a recovered plane, not a brand new one, it has lost some of its horses when its just sitting there in the open for 84 years
