Designed and manufactured in Finland, Perkele-6000 has quite good handling characteristics and decent top speed. Landing may be tricky, but possible. First designed as a seaplane, but the pontoons made the plane do horrible Flips of Death (FoD). After killing 41 test pilots, it was redesigned as a normal landing gear-faring plane. Thanks to the death toll it accumulated, it was rightfully named Perkele (Great-grandfather of the Devil). 6000 comes from the sum of horsepower from the two engines.
