Henschel Hs 126

The main purpose of the Hs 126 was considered to be a short-range reconnaissance and spotter, and, in fact, it was a new incarnation of the traditional observer aircraft of the First World War.

The Hs 126 saw combat in Spanish Civil War. Hs 126s flew during the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and the Invasion of the Soviet Union. On 12 September 1943, a number of Hs 126s were used to tow ten DFS 230 attack gliders to the Gran Sasso on a raid to rescue Benito Mussolini.

I chose this aircraft as tug for the DFS 230 transport glider.


📌 Realistic in scale and weight
📌 Synchronization gear works best at high propeller RPMs.
📌 Set flaps to 0.3 when towing a glider.
📌 Engine temp should be fine if propeller and mixture stays at default, but they can be adjusted for more power when necessary, such as climbing while towing a glider.
📌 Easy to use with altitude & direction hold, reverse on ground, mouse control
📌 To view rear viewing camera positioned in the wings, set canopy to middle position.
📌 Behind the pilot, observer can use radio, down viewing camera or the machine gun.
📌 Crank generator/starter at the front, behind the propeller in case of dead battery
📌 Glider tow guide can be found in the description of DFS 230's page.
📌 It has long range but still, if you are low on fuel, it is better to turn off supercharger than reducing throttle. Because supercharger runs on electric motor and may drain battery at reduced throttle.
