Another dieselpunky thing, the idea was the lift levels you got from a biplane, with the visibility you get from a mono plane (with tandem engines thrown in for free). It didn't work very well. You'll need to play with trim or micro a lot to make it fly level (you want the trim down a bit, almost a third of the way for level flight at a bit above 210 mph). On the plus side, it looks cool and has gun convergence and somewhat accurate iron sights. It's armed with 4 7.7mm MG 17s (heavy arms for the time).


Note: it's rather skittish on the ground.
