Overview
It has been a while since I have made a WW1 era biplane so I thought that one was long overdue. The MJ-1 is a tandem seater reconnaissance plane meant to record and relay enemy troop movements. Thanks to @Belugasub for his input on the flight performance.

@Thecatbaron Hey, could you do a rip-off flying boat next?
Hi the cat baron I was hoping you could help me with a project I was hoping you could create a glitched/modded part I was hopeing you have experience with this due to your glitched magnets in the USS beast controller plz look at my post

Lol @MrSilverWolf
awesome!
(how I missed this idk)
@Thecatbaron you could quite easily convert this into an early monoplane
@Thecatbaron no problem!
Np!@Thecatbaron
Thanks both of you! @Hedero @MrSilverWolf
Keep up the awesome work!@Thecatbaron
Awesome!
Lol nice @X4JB
Lmao@X4JB
I saw you building this on SP stuff lol
No problem. I don't remember the sb-4 enforcer, but I'm glad to have helped :)
Hey you wouldn’t happen to remember the sb-4 enforcer?, well I was going to tag you kinda as a way to show how far I had come, back then I appreciated your kind words to my sorta basic build. It encouraged me to keep trying to get better and look at me now. I am slightly less of a potato. Btw the autoroll is ToTaLy just ending torque from having a single prop ;) @EternalDarkness
Thanks for the feedback @EternalDarkness
Design is very nice, although that view-obstructing rotator on the hood was unnecessary. Power to weight ratio and lift seem good, although the plane is very nose-heavy and pulls to the left due to CoM being off-center. Adding around 150lbs to the right wing fixes the roll issue, while "pre-trimming" by angling the horizontal stabilizer would fix the nose heaviness.
Beautifull biplane . Great job .
im not into WW1, but this one rocks!
Thanks @MrPorg137
