Otto Biplane
« on: October 21, 2014, 09:02:35 AM »
Bavaria's first Royal Bavarian Air force plane 1912. From 1912 - 1914 63 Otto biplanes were at Schleischeim. These are photos of the unfinished replica which is intended to be flyable. This replica will be fitted with a modified automobile engine in the same performance class.
Many thanks to Gunther for sending me these photos.

It could well be Sasho, it is a very interesting looking aeroplane and would fit in well with my other scratch builds.
