CFS2 AGO C.I twin-boom pusher reconnaissance biplane, 1915
Early version of the twin-boom pusher reconnaissance biplane, built by AGO Flugzeugwerke in 1915. 20 units were built. Its oval cross-sectioned tail booms were a considerable aerodynamic improvement over the lattice-tail usually employed at the time, and twin single-piece rounded fin/rudders provided excellent lateral control.
It was powered by one 172 hp Mercedes D.III engine, and had a maximum speed of 90 mph.
The design was renowned for its stable, reliable yet nimble behaviour and good handling characteristics both on the ground and in the air.
It was equipped with a very peculiar but efficient brake system: A sharp hook which was forced into the turf (activated by the spoiler key in the model).
Textures by Udo Entenmann. Dp files and custom panel included, as well as Custom gauges by Martin Klein and others.
