The very first airplane. Terribly slow and underpowered, and even attempting to climb above a 10-degree angle can lead to a stall. But it is fun to fly! Note that its' horsepower has been artificially increased from 12 horsepower to 60, to make up for inaccuracies of the SimplePlanes engine.

@ThePilotDude Nice to know! I built the Flyer III mostly because it was the only one i could get an HD 3-view of, and with stats.
As a side note, all of my Realism Series aircraft are within 10% of the real aircraft in terms of thrust, mass, dimensions, wing loading, et cetera. If you're interested in checking them out, go ahead! The only specification that is very unrealistic is drag; most aircraft tend to have too little drag in simpleplanes, and it's quite hard to measure accurately both in real life and in SP
