Building this plane has been an awesome learning experience! I learned many new building techniques that I hope to include in future builds. I took inspiration from the Berliot XI and loosely from the DH.53 Humming Bird.

To Fly: Throttle up slowly and pull back. Slow and steady is best with this plane, which also features an ejector seat that works best over water since the cockpit floats. Press AG 1 to eject. Includes working yoke and throttle stick.

Please rate and, comment if you enjoy!

    I should also say that it was not @Teues 's plane, but @hfusiwjf29 who built one. His was quite a bit bigger than mine. Mine is more mobile friendly. I will say I got inspired from his design. As you know my work is pretty original.

    @Zing2000 Actually, no. This was a scratch build from me. I worked off old photos from the internet. It took a few days to build this one.
