[PEA] Douglas B-18 Bolo

PART EFFICIENT AIRCRAFT!

(Once it is approved by Monarchii)


“ The Douglas B-18 Bolo is an American heavy bomber which served with the United States Army Air Corps and the Royal Canadian Air Force (as the Digby) during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The Bolo was developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company from their DC-2 as a replacement for the Martin B-10.
By 1940 standards, it was slow, had an inadequate defensive armament, and carried too small a bomb load. By 1942, surviving B-18s were relegated to antisubmarine, training and transport duties. A B-18 was one of the first USAAF aircraft to sink a German U-boat, U-654 on 22 August 1942 in the Caribbean.[2]”
-Wikipedia


This is another PEA plane I made. It has 48 parts, but this is because it is a much more complicated design. I was struggling to keep it this low, especially with the more complicated glass. I hope you like it!


Instructions:
VTOL down for flaps
Trim: trim
Everything else is pretty straightforward.
It flies fairly well, but do not go up too quickly.


I will be creating a forum post soon, where you can suggest PEA planes for me to build, but until then, you can put any suggestions you have in the comments.

    I believe this plane was requested by @Cookiewinner9 although I can no longer find his comment, so it could have been someone else.
