Scout, Search and Rescue, Close Air Support, Canyon Runner, this plane defines versatility. It can VTOL from land or water. While not the fastest plane in the air it is extremely manuverable with its 180 degree rotating main propeller. It can come in hot and get out of Dodge fast! The VTOL slider controls the main prop, up for forward, down reverses it. AG1 activates the wing engines. AG2 and trim down to drop the pontoons for water landing. You can then turn off AG2 and center the trim for stable flight. The pontoons can then be raised again with push of a button. (AG2) For water landings slow your approach by reversing the main propeller to whatever degree needed. With a little practice you can pull off some spectacular pinpoint landings. Have fun!

@vamad88 Np!
Thanks! @Gmanndo1000
I thought about using them but I decided that the main prop was enough to lift the plane and more lifters would just throw off the balance. I did build a land only version with heavier armament that could use more power so I may use them yet. @Qwertybattle
Nice!
