The Bugatti 100P

A racing concept designed by Ettore Bugatti. Yes THAT Bugatti. The Bugatti Model 100 was a purpose-built air racer designed to compete in the 1939 Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup Race. The aircraft was not completed by the September 1939 deadline and was put in storage prior to the German invasion of France.

I tried as best I could to replicate the original interior and its gauge setup.
I also had a hard time replicating its top speed goal of about 500 miles per hr (804 kph) but it goes plenty fast.

Controls:
AG1: Igntion
AG2: Propeller 1
AG3: Propeller 2
AG4: Feather Prop 1
AG5: Feather Prop 2
AG6: Gyroscope for cruising
AG8: Tail wheel controls
This plane can be flown without UI instruments

I hope you enjoy my plane.
