Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's (CLOSED/JUDGED) Ultralight Seaplane Challenge
My entry to A5mod3us' challenge. While I can't keep it from falling over on water, it does take off (rarely) and land on water. Ground take off and landing works fine. This is my 4th attempt at the Icon A5, and I like how small this one turned out.
And thanks to all of my followers, I'm trying to spur my creativity to be the slightly interesting builder of odd planes I once was.

25.2k A5mod3usSince I can't seem to get it to take off, and it won't float without rolling over, it unfortunately doesn't qualify for the challenge.9.4 years ago

32.7k WakescarThis little A5 is great! I like the way you integrated the prop. Flies great too. Can't ask for much more at this size. Keep it up!9.4 years ago
