Basic copy of Hansa-Brandenburg B.I. She's a little bigger and has slightly lower performance. More will follow once I figure OTL analogs.

Copy of Rumpler B.I 4A14.(no I don't only like aircraft named B.I they've just worked out for what I want so far) Had to make an educated guess on top speed since the only info listed was for the B.I 4A w/ the 100hp Mercedes engine instead of the 160hp Benz engine. I figure 60hp should be good for 10 km/h.

Well I though the B. stands for biplane just as the M. stands for Mono and T. stands for triplane.

For example the German planes used E. and F.; the former meaning one (one-winged) and the latter meaning two (two-winged).

Well it wasn't that simple.

Idflieg aircraft designation system

btw I didn't know that their nubering system was that complex until I tried to find a few fitting aircraft for Orange several weeks ago.
