Auto Credit Based on Allstar's Allstarship's Prop challenge

The Nieuport 17 was a French biplane fighter aircraft of World War I, manufactured by the Nieuport company.

Hold pitch down until the aircraft is airborn. There is a slight tilt when taking off but the plane will still remain controllable.

Because drunk enginners tried to build this plane the flight instruments are messed up...

Enjoy!

(this aircraft is originally designed for ALLSTARSHIP'S 1939-1945 PROP CHALLENGE but I got the dates wrong and made a 1916 plane instead....)

    Hay man, I remember this plane, it was submitted into the first challenge I took part in ( this was with my old acount papaanthony3) I don't know why I didn't rate it, but I came back here to put it right. Nice work buddy, this was and will always be one of the best builds on simple-planes.

    @Allstarship yeah, I was trying to create an old biplane but somehow I didnt realize that what I was making is way too old... I didnt know @SUKINIM had a challenge like that. Thanks for the tip

    AWESOME! But it doesn't quite fit this challenge. Maybe you should submit this to SUKINIM's WWI CHALLENGE
