Right so this aircraft is not without problems. For some reason 2000 horse power is not enough to bring the tiny pup past 100mph and get it airbourne.

    @iiRazor Not all did, infact for the start of the first world war no aircraft had a machine gun firing through the propeller as interupters had not been invented. In the second world war things changed as wing mounted weapons were introduced. For the pup however yes there was a single vickers fitted to fire through the prop however as interupters on here do not work I have opted for the less common configuration of a vickers K mounted above the pilot on the top wing.

    I thought wwi-wwii biplanes all had guns mounted on nose right behind the pilot?
