Pusher Prop Mk 3

60 stonedgandalf  9.2 years ago

I recently developed a fascination with pusher propeller aircraft and thought I'd give designing one a try. I drew inspiration from the Curtiss-Wright XP-55, but I also wanted it to be a biplane because of the extra wing area those designs offer. She's not the quickest or most nimble, but she's a lot of fun to fly with the massive yaw controls. Just be gentle with the yaw input! Also, I'd like to merge another engine into the rear, but I can't seem to get the hang of clipping parts accurately. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
