Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's (CLOSED/JUDGED) Ultralight Seaplane Challenge
VTOL and AG 1 controls primary wing pitch. VTOL down as much as needed. This is handy when exiting the water or making short takeoffs. During flight, a little bit down is all that is needed. VTOL and AG 2 controls the landing gear. This plane can deploy on land on land or water. Turn off AG 2 unless setting the wheels and turn off AG 1 during the use of AG 2.
