My first taildragger/biplane, but with a funky twist. Very docile handling characteristics, thus is easy to land. Tops out about 650ish mph. Approach speed around 110mph.

65 AdmantaThe good: One of the better looking original designs in simple planes. Unmistakable appearance that looks good from every angle. Large wing area means this is a relaxed and efficient flier, 50% thrust for cruise is all you need. The Bad: too much thrust for a plane of its size, would recommend cutting thrust by around 50%. The large control surfaces make it easy to throw this plane into a spin, but this is offset a bit by the high lift wings making it easier to recover from the spins. Fixes or even just improvements to those issues will get you 5 stars in V2.9.9 years ago
