Grumman F4F-3S Wildcatfish (COLLAB WITH @F4f879)

63.1k EpicPigster1  7.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on EpicPigster1's Wildcatfish Collab With F4f879

Here it is, the third entry to the floatplane series, the Wildcatfish, which was made by both me and @F4f879!

What I did:
- The plane
What he did:
- The floats

Instructions:
For land: The plane doesn't like land.
For water: Trim all the way down. Lift off at 130 to 150 mph.

The plane is literally a Wildcat with heavy floats and other items strapped onto it, so it was significantly slower and less agile. This replica reflects those characteristics. Have fun!

    @CRJ900Pilot it's actually 9:28 here, so I guess 9:30. I believe that means we are in the same time zone!

    @CRJ900Pilot I am Canadian! I live in Toronto, Ontario, which means I am about 2 hours away from both Michigan and New York.
