Flight characteristics
It has a cockpit by the way, instructions on start-up are provided in-game.
In take-off phase, when the aircraft reaches its takeoff speed (>157 km/h) the plane slowly tends to ground loop, causing unattended accidents.
At cruise, it cannot fly in level at 0 degrees as it may lose altitude. The optimal nose level for cruise is at around 1-3 degrees.
It has a maximum speed of 344 km/h at 750 meters above sea level and 333 km/h at mid-altitude.
Based on the blueprints used the BH-48 tends to have large control surfaces for roll, giving the craft in-game high roll rate.
Cruise speed, climb rate and service ceiling are not tested.
Comparable aircraft are: Curtiss P-31 Swift, Boeing P-26 Peashooter
