Title: Dr1 top speed
Post by: Pyro on March 25, 2011, 09:20:28 AM

Someone had posted in a thread some top speed info on the Dr1 that varied from what's in game.  I've searched and can't find it anymore.  Can someone who knows what I'm talking about provide a link or repost?

I'd say the yellow line, UrIIa, 138 horses, seems closest

any ever heard of dr-1 being covered in silk as a way to have less oil damage to fuselage? with the added benifit being 7-9 mph more speed....i remember reading this in a couple of books in the 70's.but cant remeber where.....
