The Cormorant is a small sea-plane build to discover even the most hidden places in the world. Even with its tiny engine, I can easily get out of the water reasonably quickly.
Controls:
1-Landing lights.

@BeeEngineer
the last time I attempted a amphibious plane was when I wanted a 3 engined bomber plane.
@BeeEngineer
ahhhhh
@dogooman1 I wanted the plane to be slow and not powerful but it had to take-off of water so I slowly added power until I had got it right.
@BeeEngineer
how much fine tuning did you use to take off from the water?
