So what do you think?

[Flying Officer Kyte]

It will be interesting to find out what the chaps think Daniel as I started building one for my Italian arm yesterday.
Rob.

[Kaiser]

Jup. It`s even slower than a BE2c. Takes double the time to climb to 1000m (ca 3500ft) and is bigger. But the engine is more powerful.

[Linz]

I built the one with the cannon some months ago.
Stats I gave it are
Maneuver cards P
Cannon C
Machine gun B
Damage. 11
Climb Rate 7 only slightly better than bombers
Ceiling 9
Well that's my opinion

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Do you advocate taking out the Immelmann card Linz?
Rob.

[Max Headroom]

This Voisin III appears to be very similar to the Voisin V. Only a few changes.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

That is great Max. Could you do a card with Italian roundels please.
Rob.

[Bluedevil]

And Belgian roundels? This is an aircraft I would like to see appear on Shapeways by the way ( hint hint)

[Max Headroom]

Sure enough chaps... Not hard at all:

[Kaiser]

Cool! After allit's the aircraft which had the first confirmed air victory

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Thanks Max. That will do very well indeed. It must be the first time I have had a custom card before the plane is finished.

So what do you think?

I think it's going to take a *long* time to play a game with one of these.... :)

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I think it's going to take a *long* time to play a game with one of these....

I was just thinking of using it as the token bomber and doing most of the talking with my Spads.

Doing an Immelmann in one of these crates Hmmmmmm! What can I compare that to.
I know driving a transit up to the Hard Knot fort with the hope that you have enough speed up to leap to the top of the Rhinos pass.
To those of you who do not know Cumbria. Immelmann
It is an interesting question
How many aircraft built before the first Immelmann was successfully completed were able to do the Immelmann.
Or how many pilots tried and died.
So yes I do advocate taking the Immelmann out for this aircraft.
Linz
If you did an Immelmann in this crate it be slowest in history with it's climb rate.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

That was my thinking exactly Linz.
Rob.

[Bluedevil]

Just discovered the card...thanks Max !
