Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's Skipper

An Amphibious version of the Skipper! A little of the plane's performance was sacrificed for this feature, but she still flies exceptionally well. To take off from land follow these steps: activate group 1 - set VTOL slightly in the down position - deactivate group 1 - center VTOL - Activate Group 2 - throttle up - once off the ground, slide VTOL bar into the full up position to raise gear - (optional) deactivate group 2 to lock landing gear.

(please excuse the typo in the model name, I can be a little dyslexic at times :P )
