Auto Credit Based on XVIindustries's Lympne Trials Challenge 1923

For the Lympne Trials 1923 Challenge! This P-26 inspired (and painted) aircraft would have undergone testing in 1922 before being submitted to this contest. This was one of the first planes ever created by the Aerostyle Aircraft Firm based in Illinois. It features a relatively detailed cockpit and lots of wire and strut detail!

    LOOK AT MY EXAMPLE: yours is huge and made of fuselage blocks, the ideal plane is made of a fuselage frame using the small ones I give in the starter pack and then cover with structural panels and wings!

    Ok, what happens is that with a 90hp engine, this doesn't even move! It weighs ~1,000 pounds less than the Cedco Robin, yet it doesn't work. Doesn't even move! @XVIindustries

    It cannot take off because the main wings aren't eg enervating enough lift, and it's a tiny bit heavy

    Wow you guys must've been loaded! A trip over to UK with a large cargo could have been over 10.000 dollars and back in the day that was more expensive
