A 1930ish Yank with apparently an inline engine.

An obscure Curtiss ?

Yes, close enough! I have it as the Babcock Taubman LC-13A but to be honest after research it could easily be the one you say!

You have CONTROL!

I don't think it's the Babcock Taubman LC-13A because I posted that one I think quite some time ago.

Sorry mate.

That has puller props - the ones in mine are pushers.

edit:.....and the challenge has twin vertical stabilisers, not one.

edit 2:....do you have anything prepared?
