UPDATED VERSION AVAILABLE : necessary aesthetic changes were made

The power to weight ratio of this plane is the same as the one in real life. And for those of you who do not know this was the first plane to fly from New York to Paris in May 1927.

Having the same power to weight ratio it flies at similar speeds to the origional plane, which is not very fast at all, but is from about 100 to 114 mph if not in a climb. At 100% throttle the plane will always want to climb at about 90 mph but at about 65% of trottle it can cruise fairly well.

Let me know what you think and upvote if ya like it! :D

    @werecat Oh nice! Thats got to work alot better. I found that if you use this plan as an AI plane In a race or something they automaticaly retract the landing gear and break the tail.
