Auto Credit Based on SpartanAirplanes's Dawn of Aviation Challenge (CLOSED)
Possibly the most famous WW1 fighter of all time, most recognizable is the bright red aircraft with Baron Manfred von Ritchthofen at the controls. This is also possibly the most realistic fighter I've made yet. Even the rudder has an accurate shape (that part took a while)! The narrow wheel track makes takeoff and landing somewhat difficult, so keep pulling up on takeoff to avoid flipping and dying. To land, decrease throttle to about 50% and bring 'er down nice and easy. DO NOT USE FULL BRAKES OR RUDDER. Cut throttle and wait for the aircraft to slow down below 60mph to hit full brakes. A long landing is best.

I just finished flying it, and it was pretty cool. Not many people on here regularly make WWI planes, so I encourage you to experiment with it. @asteroidbook345
