A cheeky entry for the Biplane Madness Challenge. Not strictly speaking a biplane, but I hope it can enter?

The Fokker Dr.31 Pfeil. A dieselpunk nemesis for my Sopwith Shadow.

Features;

  • An 18 cylinder in line power plant with mobile inlet trumpets
  • 4X30mm kannon mounted in the engine housing and firing through the prop arc.
  • all moving control surfaces. This thing will snap roll with the best of them.
  • sketchy yaw stability. Very sketchy.
  • no trim. Hands on stick at all times, old chap.
  • cam 1 for the pilot.

Pip pip, chaps!

    Fair play, old chap. With this you've officially entered the realm of complete nutters. Toodle-pip, and fly over the cuckoo's nest.

    Tri-planes, I guess they can be entered, I won't be active for a while, I have work to do, and, I have things to take care of, but good entry!

    @Treadmill103 Thanks! It really is good fun to zip around in. A proper challenge to land, too. Try it up against my Sopwith Shadow for a really good scrap.
    @Tang0five Much appreciated, old bean!
