Sea Sparrow AlmostLight Amphibian

3,214 Chrisk1993  3.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on PapaKernels's ALMOSTLIGHT CHALLENGE!!!

I guess its an almostlight. AG1 and 2 engage left and right engines. AG3 is the drag brakes for stopping on water. Take of with 50 percent power and trim all the way down and you can get it up under 40 mph. Otherwise just take off normally. It can land and take off on water or a runway. Use the normal brakes to stop on land and the drag brakes to stop on water.

    25/25 - first impressions: looks amazing! It looks so good!
    50/50 - looks: definitely looks like a very funky ultralight, so good job there!
    50/100 - flight: this is where you loss the most points, the flight model is quite lacking considering the look of the aircraft. The roll rate is SLOWWWW!! it is so annoying to me, i feel it should be alot better. Me I want some yaw, and no yaw is sad to me. Stall and all that is very good though.
    25/25 - details: details are amazing!!!!! The cockpit is amazingly detailed, dials, engine switches, yolk, seats, everything was detailed to perfection! The wings have the right shape, and no stock wing peices stick out!
    47/50 plausibility, it is most definitely plausible irl!! Just that it would need a much faster roll and pitch rate.

    First off sorry it took me so long to give you your score, I have been busy. The aircraft is very nice, just the roll rate is bad, other than that it's a very well made aircraft!
    Total score: 197/250
    Please pin comment so I can find it easily

    @Chrisk1993 if it was faster you probably would have won.

    @PapaKernels Yeah I was trying to make it real sluggish cause it's so slow but I just went back and flew it and realized how slow the controls are. It's bad lol.
