Caproni ca.5 Bomber

985 WobblePudding  7.4 years ago

Hello everyone!
After a rediculously long break I am back. And why not start off (kinda) strong?
This is the Caproni ca.5 bomber. It was an Italian WWI bomber built by Caproni (hence the name). It entered service near the end of the war and carried on being built up until 1921. Even three of them were licence-built in the US.
The plane is absolutely terrible at flying which kinda defeats its soul purpose of being able to fly. But that aside it is quite a good airplane. When you turn with it, do not turn too sharply or you'll crash'n burn.
If you feel like improving it or anything like that, go ahead! Just let me know.
