AKA the SEADUCK (with retractable landing gear!)
-Props by WalrusAircraft

PLEASE READ

Action groups:

1: landing gear
2: prop VTOL nozzles

When taking off from land, ACTIVATE group 2 then move VTOL slider to 25%, then DEACTIVATE group 2. Return VTOL slider to center, then ACTIVATE group 1, throttle up, take-off, slide VTOL slider to the top, and DEACTIVATE group 1.

From water: same procedure, but raise gear before take-off.

NOTES: Doesn't fly quite as well as the Skipper, but is still a solid plane. Has a few bugs. Sometimes it'll explode for no reason when loading. Just reset if this happens. Also has a tendency to yaw right slightly. Not sure what's causing this, but it's not that much of a problem (If anyone figures out the cause, let me know). The landing rear landing gear doors will sometimes hang-up, but they usually sort themselves out. The rear flight surfaces also tend to wobble about in during maneuvers. Don't know what's causing that either.

Landing on land is tricky. Try not to break too hard or you'll wipe out, and make sure you touch-down nice and gentle.

DO NOT ACTIVATE GROUP 3 (unless you want the plane to violently explode, then, by all means, go ahead).

Thanks to WalrusAircraft for the awesome props!

Happy Flying!

    I dig it man! Nice design. Love seeing people use the props. The counter rotation looks cool. Keep tweaking this design, you are moving in the right direction. I'll follow your work now.

    @Ctracerx2 I'm assuming he maybe meant the props, which were designed by WalrusAircraft, but I credited him in the description, twice.
