Probably not a good idea after all.
Hello Folks,
I was trying to see about the service history of the Zeppelin Staaken Giant Seaplanes.
Unfortunately it appears that the three 8301 types built came too late in the war to
see any military service, only being used post-war as passenger aircraft.
So... it turns out that there seems little point in building a CFS2 model for this model too..
I´ll have to look for a different model.
Perhaps the large, 4-engined Gotha WD-27?
It had an engine layout similar to the Staaken R.VI, and a wingspan of 101 ft, qualifying
as a "Riesenflugzeug" - i.e. a Giant. Three were built, and at least one saw service.
However, as an unarmed long-range reconnaissance aircraft, "the eyes of the fleet", it
wasn´t a combat aircraft, so again, a model of this is of questionable interest for CFS2.
Back to the hunting grounds - let´s see what I can find!
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp
