D.500.91 [Kermit] WW1M

15.1k MDDJB  10 months ago

A WWI fighter derived from my previously constructed seaplane, with a power, range, and weapons configuration that is relatively not out of period. Operating Instructions:
Press AG-1 or activate the only switch in the cockpit to start the engine. Press AG-2 to activate the gyroscope to maintain a smooth cruise.
1. Hold thrust at 100% on takeoff and keep the nose down until the fuselage is parallel to the ground.
2. When the fuselage is parallel to the ground, you can adjust the Trim to the lowest level and leave the ground before the fuselage attitude becomes unstable.
3. When your aircraft is completely off the ground, reduce the thrust to 65%, use AG-2 to activate the gyroscope to ensure the horizontal balance of the fuselage for a short time, then cancel AG-2 and keep Trim at the bottom until climbing to 500m altitude, then enable AG-2, Trim always at the bottom, the aircraft will continue to climb, when climbing to 1200m altitude, you can turn Trim to zero and keep AG-2 until you reach your destination.
4. The range of this aircraft should be about 160km when you fly strictly according to the above conditions.
This aircraft is equipped with 2 machine guns, 6 ground attack rockets, and 10 anti-infantry grenades.
