Polikarpov U-2 (Po-2)

41.4k getorge  5.8 years ago

Maybe you know that one of my favorite planes is Po-2, i have already made 2 attempts to build a good replica but honestly i do not like previous versions, so today i'm introducing you new replica of "Kukuruznik"!


Some Wiki info:
The Polikarpov Po-2 (also U-2, for its initial uchebnyy role as a flight instruction aircraft) served as a general-purpose Soviet biplane, nicknamed Kukuruznik (from Russian "kukuruza" for maize; thus, "maize duster" or "crop duster"), NATO reporting name "Mule". The reliable, uncomplicated concept of the Po-2's design made it an ideal training aircraft, as well as doubling as a low-cost ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, psychological warfare and liaison aircraft during war, proving to be one of the most versatile light combat types to be built in the Soviet Union. As of 1978 it remained in production for a longer period of time than any other Soviet-era aircraft.
It is one of the most produced aircraft, and may be the most produced biplane in history, with as many as 30,000 Po-2s built between 1928 and 1959.However, production figures for Polikarpov U-2 and Po-2 bombers and trainers combined are between 20,000 and 30,000. with production ending as early as 1952. Correct figures are hard to obtain since low-rate production by small repair shops and air clubs likely continued until 1959.


In game description:
It was very hard to make realistic speed for this aircraft, so there is instruction how to climb safely: you need to use trim to increase engine power.
Also i have made realistic system of pitch, check it out!
About livery: There is an inscription "Na Berlin!" that means "To Berlin!", if you look at the bottom of the plane you you can see realistic light blue soviet camo.


Controls are standart, use AG1 to turn on the lights on the cockpits, use trim for trimming and for increasing engine power.

    Maybe you could help with the cap? I will have to upload the plane as unlisted and then send you the link via the comments. Then you can help with the cap.

    The master of biplanes builds the mother of all biplanes for his final project. I know it's been a long time, but I hope you return to build some more.

    @biggasgigant "Джетордж" будет самым уместным, я так иногда шутил над стриммерами, донатив им от этого ника, многие терялись в догадках как его произнести
