Saab B-5

4,051 ElHoncho  8.0 years ago

Swedish license built Douglas DB-8A-1 (A-17).
License production started in 1938. It served well into the 50s.

I wanted to build the ski undercarriage, but also want to be able to land. So wheels it is.
Flaps: VTOL down.
#8 for lights
Trim a little for level flight.

(Ps. It´s a dive bomber. Working on bomb displacing gear.)

    @cobalT to be honest they are from someone else. Have used them in several of my planes. But don´t remember from whom. So I can´t credit who ever it is.
