Stratos...

Yep they're slow and underpowered, but easy to fly..
remember you're in 1918 m8 and speed was only just
beginning! however the bullets are as fast as usual..

Added inside of the cockpit, and reworked the Heinkel 59 engines, with very basic wings, just to see how it looks.

How big will this be Gibbo, compared to a fighter?

Hi Ade.

The model is in excess of 420 x 600 points! I've not finalized the wingspan yet, as I'm not sure yet which is the best way to build them. So, it's not small.

the closest thing we already have about the same size would be a B17...which has a 103'wing span verses the HP 0/100 100'span, so the points seem a tad bit high to me???

Hi FlyRight.

The Handley Page 0/400 wingspan is 30.48 meters, which is 635 3dz points

The B17 wingspan is 31.62 meters, which is 659 3dz points.

So, it looks about right to me.

Here's some specs in imperial.....

Handley Page 0/400

Span: 100' Actual,

Length: 62' 10 1/4" Actual,

Power: two 360 hp Rolls Royce Eagle VIII water cooled V-12s

Crew: 3 to 5

Maximum Speed: 97.5 mph at sea level with full load

Armament: 3 to 5 Lewis Machine Guns and bomb load usually 16 bombs of 112 lbs each

Endurance: up to 8 hours

RFC Nieuport 16 - Zeppelin Hunter
Presently in the Spit 1 slot, but will be able
to re-slot for Camel, SE5a and Spad at a later
stage.




in action...

Hi Ade,

Nicely done Zeppelin! Who's the author?

How do those rockets work on Jerry bombers too?

Cheers mate

how soon they forget Ade i quess your using unlimited ammo, still see rockets on the struts??? try aiming for the center, thats where the v1v1-slot damage modeling is...

and serves me right to not make 6 am comments, not fully coherent even though i have to be awake to drive a bus an hour later, just checked the default B17 and its eaw wing span is actually 640 pts, so you're about dead on Col...

be working on a couple SpadXVI camos, the 3dz is done!!! might have something over the weekend or at least wip pics.
