Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's (CLOSED/JUDGED) Ultralight Seaplane Challenge

Weight and lift dominate this challenge. While this might be a heavier aircraft, it has tons of lift and a low stall speed (less than 60 mph). I think it looks awesome and it is NOT the same plane from the challenge. I built this one from scratch. It is amphibious and tends to pitch down a little. As long as you are actively changing the controls you should be fine. A lively aircraft for sure! Enjoy!

    Very nice little plane. Had a couple of structural issues, but I'm counting that as an issue with the game on my end, and not the plane. I did some tiny modifications to get it to work without falling apart and it flew wonderfully. Great entry!
