Weird WW1 heavy bomber

I’m still here! Greetings. Well, there’s not much to tell: this is a simple heavy bomber, with characteristics roughly close to its real-world counterparts. Personally, I was inspired by machines such as the Russian “Ilya Muromets” (not the Tu-160 one) or the German Friedrichshafen G.III.

The crew consists of three fools flying off to bomb something: the first pilot, the second pilot (who also doubles as the bombardier), and the tail gunner. It’s quite possible that it could fit more crew – it would be a bit cramped, but just as silly.

The armament consists of two 250 kg (500 lb) bombs in the internal bay and a single 13 mm (.512) machine gun operated by the tail gunner.

    It's a beautiful plane! I noticed a certain similarity between my plane and yours. I also have guns on the turrets, but I have a simpler control method. No, I'm not a thief! :) I saw your assembly for the first time today. I was pleased with the controllability of the aircraft, it is almost impossible to crash on it.
