The Wiki:

The Pober Super Ace was a single-seat sports aircraft designed as a homebuilt aircraft by Orland Corben in 1935. Originally the "Corben Super Ace," it was an evolution of the Corben Baby Ace, and closely linked with it throughout their existence.

It was a single-seat parasol wing monoplane of conventional tailwheel configuration. As published, the plans called for an engine from a Ford Model A (some say Ford Model B to be modified to power the aircraft.

As Always:

This was a fun plane to build. There is a model of this plane that hangs in my workplace. It is really cool to see up close and personally some of the details, but even better to actually see it fly here in game.

As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you for stopping by, and enjoy your flight!!
