VL Tuulenhenki (Breeze) Basic Trainer

5,795 DragonAerotech  5.9 years ago

The VL Tuulenhenki is a reboot on a fictional Finnish basic trainer design I presented to SimplePlanes years ago as part of a role-play build series with @TheOwlAce - only back then it was an unstable and fairly non-descript monoplane design. Now she's back, as my first real biplane. She's slow, doesn't carry much fuel around, but what she's good for is practicing landings, take-offs and aerobatics. She has a very forgiving disposition, with a low stall speed, but beware - she likes to pull to port! CG8 to Turn the landing lights on and off. Enjoy!

Credit to @ElGatoVolador for the open radial engine parts, though required mass modding to make it viable for a singler seater.
