PT-17

1,253 Blitz75000  7.8 years ago

The PT-17 was an American biplane used by the U.S. Army Air Force as a trainer during the World War Two era, and I don't really know much else about it. VTOL down for flaps; AG 1 + Yaw for control of the wheel on the back during taxiing. It does drift a bit, both on takeoff and all the time, but it's not too bad.
