In homage to my great grandfather, I decided to reproduce this airplane. My great grandfather was a french pilot during WWI and was flying in this airplane to spot and make maps of the enemy positions by taking pictures from the sky. For the little story, my great grandfather even met the french ace Guynemer and flew with him.
About the plane: it's a two seated pusher fighter aircraft used by both French and British Army. It's also the first airplane specifically designed for aircraft combat.
Sorry, it's a little tricky to take off but I assume it's normal for a WWI airplane :)

Mod TheLatentImageI had no issues getting this plane into the air. I feel like you fairly accurately captured the flight characteristics of early aircraft. And it looks awesome. Good work man, I definately enjoyed this.9.6 years ago

122 Tango71Impossible to take off on my iPhone. I made the rear wheel turn but that did not help. I like the story behind it and I believe it's worth 5 stars but I won't rate it yet. I want to get it off the ground first. I also won't be a jerk and give you a bad rating because I can't take off. So please try to fix it because if it flies as good as it looks then I'd like to try it.9.6 years ago
