Bi-III

5,117 SchadeAircaftCompany  5.4 years ago

With a look similar to the S.E.5a, this reliable biplane is great for those who want the feel of a British pilot in WWI. Although it has a bit of climb to it, and fights you a little bit as well, it is hard to out turn this aircraft. The sturdy and robust constuction is the epitome of early 20th century technology, which is not that amazing in hindsight. Go back to the days of getting within 50 meters of your enemy before even having a chance of shooting them down, and let this glorified kite kindle your love for the mechanically unstable.
