Auto Credit Based on skyeye1209's WW1 Biplane (realistic flight)
Here is a rework of my original WW1 Biplane, with a more realistic flight pattern. Watch out; as a rotary-engined beast, she likes to twitch suddenly when power is applied! She's slow and stable. At first. I use 'stable' loosely here, if you dare yank the stick to full deflection then watch how fast your flight goes from 5,000ft to -1ft. :)
Takeoff is around 60-70 mph. Usual cruise flight is around 80-87 mph. It could probably get to the 90s and 100s in a shallow dive. It's very draggy and underpowered, but the wings certainly produce a massive amount of lift; generally, a bank will suffice if a turn is needed, with little elevator input necessary.
