Uli's Kiste

This is a fun plane custom-built for a friend of mine (guess her name!). She wanted a cute biplane with three propellers and a certain color scheme, so that's what I did. Recording the custom sounds with her was the most funny part ...

"Kiste" is the German word for "box", but it is also used for "car" or "plane" in colloquial speech.

This plane is very lightweight and has powerful engines, so you can do all sorts of aerobatics with it. I'm not sure whether a plane with these characteristics would be possible in reality, but it doesn't matter. This plane was built for pure fun, and you can have a lot of that with it.

Update note: It looks like the more accurate physics of X-Plane 5.60 make this plane (and other tail-draggers) much harder to handle on the runway than with v5.54. If anyone has ideas for improvement, let me know!
