Stallion Civillian Seaplane
I started this as an experiment to try custom control surfaces, then it turned into a land based civillian plane. Then I was like, hey, why don't I build a seaplane instead? Then I ended up with this. This is not a very detailed build like, let's say, my AF-33, but it's my first seaplane that flies rather well, so that's something, I guess.
Also an entry for the Bush Plane/Flying Challenge by @jamesPLANESii.
Controls/Instructions
AG1- gyroscope for stabilization
AG2- spotlight/headlight/idk
AG8- nav lights and anti-collision lights (anti-collision lights activate with throttle)
VTOL- flaps
Trim for trim
Takeoff procedure:
• activate gyroscope (AG1) to stabilize
• put flaps (VTOL) down one notch
• put trim all the way down
• slowly throttle up to full power and hold pitch up button
• deactivate gyro when airborne, retract flaps and you're good to go!
Landing is pretty simpler actually, just slow down, put flaps down fully, activate gyro if you want to, and pitch up until you touch the water then brake.
Sorry for the lack of uploads, I just don't have any idea on what to build, nor the inspiration to build something. I'll try my best to build some stuff though, simple stuff like maybe weapons like the railguns and laser system on my AF-33. Maybe I can put them on turrets?
