Supermarine Seagull
From Wikipedia:
"The Supermarine Seagull was a British amphibious, military flying boat and the last to be built by the Supermarine company. Design started during the Second World War but it did not fly until three years after the war had ended and the project was cancelled without it being adopted for service."
BEFORE TAKE-OFF:
Activate group 2, VTOL slider almost to the top, and deactivate group 2
Center VTOL slider.
If on the water, activate group 1 before throttling up.
If on land, throttle up and take-off, then activate group 1 to raise gear. Be sure to pull back on the stick throughout your run-up to prevent it tipping forward and wrecking.
Use VTOL slider for trim. Slider down to trim nose up, and up to trim nose down.
When flying, make shallow banks and mostly use rudders to turn. She'll fly smooth as glass as long as you're patient.
When landing, make your approach shallow and keep her nice and level when you touch down. Upon landing, you may either brake carefully to a stop, or for a rapid stop, activate group 2 deactivate group 1 and and pull the VTOL slider all the way down and throttle up.
Note: This replica is not quite as fast as it's real-life counterpart, but she'll do around 200mph. The real-life prototype also had tri-blade contra-rotating props. Mine has four bladed props because I can't be bothered to do all the crazy XML hacking a lot of folks here are crazy about.
Please rate!
HAPPY FLYING!
