XH-815
The Hill Co. Llanberis Model 117HJb military flight training bi-plane was a further development of the civilian 320HP 117HJ.
This model included an update cockpit, 2 forward facing, small calibre (.303), machine guns (with an offset reticle) for target practise and an extended range fuel tank.
Using the uprated 360HP Newford Radial with auto cowl flaps the aircraft is still simple to control like it's civilian counterpart and a joy to fly (NOTE: lower throttle settings (55%) should be used to reduce fuel consumption and engine wear while in cruise).

Thank you so much for the curated status, I didn't think this little bi-plane would be worthy!
If there are any issues please let me know, I'll do my best to correct them, I don't have a VR headset so it was initially a "best guess" cockpit build.
Its really good!
@X99STRIKER Thanks, really glad you like it!
Still only 19, maybe it’s just me and a few others but I find this plane really cool.
Only 5 upvotes so far? It’s a nice plane what the heck.
Is that a holdable fire extinguisher for vr players? I was thinking of doing the same thing but with a gun, in a ww1 based bomber
