This only works with

LimitlessSpin

because of the engine

A fictional postwar retro-futuristic recreational flying boat for general aviation.
For those who retired, admiring at the shiny silver jet and bubble canopy and yet dreamed about glorious flying boat/ seaplane of the 30's. But with economical and affordable twin flat 6, sure would not brake your retirement fund.

something something like that.

Instructions:

High physics recommended

AG1 to turn on engine
Most things are normal

Recomandation for take off:

Dont tounch Engineoffset and Collective controls during take off!!!
Low throttle till around 100km, should be able to lift off around 140-170 depends on how you do it.

Cockpit controls:
Beside The main throttle is engine offset
Could be use as Roll offset, with or without compensating for the collective
Above the RPM gage is Collective control, pretty useful for narrow steer in low speed, but also could be used as yaw offset once up to speed.

AG7 for open canopy, push foward on the right side of the cockpit (red latch)

The engine have around 260hp of output. Weight around 230 KG

I didn't really test things thoroughly, nor it has that much details, sorry for that.
