Auto Credit Based on DeezDucks's WWI challenge

WWI fighter made with DeezDucks's Mattmcks Lewis gun.

Easy take off. Great for fast turns, but not so stable in straight flyght(use autopilot for it if you need). Be gentle with breaks and do not forget to pitch your tail down on landings or plane may nose over.

Little story(half fiction): it's supposed to be one of Sopwithes sended in boxes to Kyev around 1917 from Kingston upon Thames. But it's was one of the first planes assembled by UPR 3-rd Aviation Regiment newcomer mechanics and due to rush and assembles disorder UPR Air Forces get this plane. For the gun they used Lewis lefted on armory storages by Russian Empire.

Best wishes to DeezDucks for great challenge and nice gun replica.
