Auto Credit Based on PhilipTarpley's SeaPlane (Low Wing)

"One of the stock float planes in the game. Pull up the landing gear, and it should take off pretty well from the water hands-off."
Based on the Low wing sea plane from the early days of Simpleplanes, Itself based on presumably the PA-28. I took advantage of some weight augmentation to give it a powerful 300hp engine and kept it's weight down.

Of the 12 PA-28 float planes that were made, none had landing gear, but instead featured the wipline 2100 system, so that's what this one has.

The paint scheme is inspired by Polly Vacher and her beautiful race Dakota

Flying:
Press AG1 for the starter and fuel pump
prop setting all the way up
flaps all the way down
throttle up

LISTEN UP!!!
the plane does not want to take off below 80 knots. it also will not get up to 80 knots straight and level and try's to pull to the right on takeoff. so, to combat this problem, roll the plane to the left on the water to pull the right float up. the plane will speed up, enough to take off.

after takeoff, use whatever flap setting you want.

Landing: maintain a speed of at least 75 knts and use full flaps.
