Nope, this is NOT a Gotha.
Sure it looks like one and the dimensions are more or less the same, but it is NOT a Gotha.
Ok, Ok, I admit, it IS based off of some plans for the actual aircraft and it flies a lot like I imagine the real one does.
It does everything slowly.
I am sure if I could be bothered that I could turn out something better than this, but my face hurts, because dentist.
'Nuff said.
Motors are the smallest in game, XML'd to give correct horsepower rating (260 HP per engine).
Flying is easy, everything happens slowly as previously mentioned.
As soon as the tail gets airborne, you can go flying.
Flies down so, a little up trim is needed, something I suspect the real Gotha did not have.
Controls as per normal.
Plans used to build this are available if people want them.

@Mickk yeah, I meant sopwith pup
@BlackhattAircraft
As in Sopwith Pup?
Something to think about I guess.
This plane was built using info from two plans, one showing an odd tricycle gear setup for both sides, so I suspect they are two different models of the same aircraft.
You should build a pup
Cool
I like the way this turned out.
I may make another one, but stick closer to the plans I have, as in actually work out how wide the wings are and so on.
