Motorjets are a jet engine technology, so the +3 year rule doesn't apply to them.

They're not proper jets, but it would take some time to get the reheat section working ok. As I said before, the performance estimates are rather optimistic anyway.

The last one looks pretty good, but isn't a radial P-40 a P-36? It looks like a heavy bore cannon firing through the propeller boss, which isn't really possible with a radial engine.

I'm no aviation expert, but I'd hate to be the guy with that job. Sounds painful, and something like a one-time occupation with generous bonus pay for your widows and orphans.

My deadpan sarcasm doesn't translate well over text-based medium, I think.

Essentially, to access that starter, it looks like you have to do it either standing right up against the prop, or poking something through the prop.

A fairly common and much safer way of starting an engine that hand turning the prop.

Heavily modified but yes, a lot of planes started as Mailplanes (Ju-86, He-111, Blenheim, Amiot 350 etc )

But the 129s hull really is not made to carry more than 10 postcards - she really is not well suited for the task intended.

Yeah but the're the safest ten postcards in the world!
What WW needs is an express postcard service.

The starter is a Hucks starter I presume?

Lovely drawings too, love the radial P-40. It looks right, the P-36 just looks... flimsy.

The Persian postal motto is Through FLAK, barrage, mines or Gloom of Night

As for the hucks starter you are correct, unfortunatly the Finnish livery on the Razorbacked Radial P-40 violated ToS somehow...

The server the sim runs on is in Germany. Finnish livery of the period includes a swastika, though it's not the same as the reversed Nazi emblem, and the swastika is banned in Germany (and has been since the end of WWII). That's probably why.
