Hi all! I want to make a different request, an aerobatic aircraft. This one is a wood-made aircraft form the French "Mudry" now called Apex Aircraft (they just develop light aicrafts, some of them for aerobatics purpouses). The CAP10 is said to be one of the hardest planes to fly, as his shape, performance and configuration make it a lil bit "stubborn" in take-off's and landing's, but ideal to learn how taildraggers work and the first step in aerobatics!
The use of this mod will be for real aerobatic training, as I'm a real pilot entering the aerobatic world, and the flight physics in 1946 can't be found anywhere else.
I've been flying the Ki-27 Otsu as it flies quite similiar to the CAP10B in performances, but heavier and a more powerful powerplant, making important differences, and the fact that the engine momentum is to the other side!
Here you can watch the Ki-27 Otsu with a CAP10B Skin form the real CAP10 owned by the Aeroclub Barcelona-Sabadell:

Here you can see the CAP10B in flight:
Here are some pics and blueprints:
I have no idea how modelling is made in IL-2, but there's a CAP10 mod for Flight Simulator, and maybe could be useful for this developement:
