Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's (CLOSED/JUDGED) Ultralight Seaplane Challenge

My entry for the ultralight water plane challenge. Takes off really fast. Use up elevator upon landing to prevent tipping over. Use high settings or it will be really unstable. (Runs without any lag with maxed out settings on my device) Don't pitch down too hard or it will stall.

    @A5mod3us I used normal wings to make it lighter. When on high settings it doesn't wobble at all for me.

    Farely stable sea plane. Has a tendency to lose control if I push down hard on the stick. Wing's a bit wobbly, but that could be fixed by using structural wings for your wing's base.

    @JacobHardy64 If the motor had been pointing straight up, the takeoff speed would've been 0, but the stall speed would still be 70 ;)

    @Viper28 Be more gentle when pitching down. This plane wants to pitch down all by itself, so you should not even need to pitch down that much.

    Would be good if I didn't stall out when I pitch down
