Auto Credit Based on marble97c's G R A Y | jet
Flying a seaplane has its little tricks. With this plane, taking off should only be done with full pitch input. This raises the nose as power is delivered, which prevents the front ends of the floats from digging into the water-which leads to a somersault event. During landing, approach from a shallow angle and touchdown at around 120 mph. This should also be done with full pitch input, pulling back of course, and especially so when applying air brake. The plane also has parachutes for pilots who demand a shorter landing distance. These chutes may be activated via activation Group 1. They are single-use. All feedback is welcome.

Please forgive me. I had saved the original, wheeled version of this a while ago and during that time, forgot that I had downloaded it. The site has thankfully given credit to the author of the original platform, @Marble97c. I would've included this in my original description had I not forgotten.
Either way, I hope you enjoy. I'll also add that the engines on the seaplane variant were added to provide the necessary thrust to takeoff from water. There were also various other, minute adjustments such as the wing shape and fuel quantity.
