XP-16 Buccaneer

3,040 TheStapler  8.9 years ago

A Crimson Skies style plane I built on a whim. Started out pretty basic but I got fancy with the tailplane and wings. Very twitchy on takeoff and landing (keep pitch under control on takeoff it will happily dig it's nose in) but after that it's a very stable aircraft. Enjoy

    @MrVaultech thanks, it started off as a pretty boring biplane, then I staggered the wings and left it for a month. I only did the tail last night! I kept looking for interesting designs from the 30s/40s and fixated on the b-24s tail assembly, then mixed it with a gee bees rearward cockpit.

    Quite an exceptional plane. Flys great, and has a complimenting color scheme for the interesting design of the plane. I like it.
