Auto Credit Based on citroenDS19's Bleriot XI
A recreation of the aircraft Louis Bleriot used to do his famous English Channel crossing. Based on the wonderful early Bleriot XI by @CitroenDS19. I reworked the cockpit and engine to be more accurate (as far as I could discern from pictures and schematics) and completely rebuilt the landing gear to have the castering and suspension of the real aircraft. Takeoff can be a little tricky because the rear wheel is rarely straight, but the aircraft is incredibly easy to land in crosswinds.
