Rumpler 6B1

2,083 Turdy1  7.0 years ago

Developed from the Rumpler C.I. the 6B1 was the first of two floatplane fighter designs produced by Rumpler. Despite its large size, the 6B1 was an excellent aircraft, capable of matching other seaplanes in service. After the arrival of the Hansa-Brandenburg W.12, many would be used at seaplane training bases in Germany.

NOTE: only pull back on the stick above 67 mph. She'll need every inch of water if you take off from Maywar.
