Bullfrog (flying boat)

5,277 MobyDick  6.4 years ago

Latest update

In this version, I turned the Bullfrog into a flying boat with retractable wing floats. I added two fixed machine guns at the nose of the plane, and added details to the horizontal stabilizer to match with the overall design. Eight 250 pound bombs are also added under the primary wings.

To take off on water:
Step 1 - VTOL down to extend flaps
Step 2 - throttle up 100% and take off at speed about 180 mph
Step 3 - retract flaps
Step 4 - AG1 + trim down to retract wing floats

Important !!!!!!!!!: Do not trim up when AG1 is activated or the plane will explode.

Can't take off without flaps.

Controls:
AG1 + trim down = retractable wing floats
AG2 + trim = gun turret rotation
AG5 = navigation lights
VTOL = flaps
