A3's 'Yellow Lobster' Ekranoplan/Ground Effect Vehicle
PLEASE READ ALL THE DESCRIPTION (IMPORTANT)
Fresh out of the water ;) (get it, 'Lobster') XD anyway I have put plenty of hours and fun into this baby, so I hope you guys enjoy it.
Theory: Idea is to takeoff (on water) rotate at around 80-90 Mp/H
and keep at an altitude of 10-20 FT above sea level :). Unfortunately SP doesn't have the ground effect so basically it is a funny looking plane XD
Keep in mind: Once you have rotated use trim lever to maintain about 10-20 FT above the water.
When you are starting to pick up speed be gentle on the elevator controls otherwise you will nosedive, so don't wiggle the up and down, so it's best to just keep the elevators up so the plane will takeoff at its desired speed.
On landing cut the throttle and when it is almost hitting the water pull back slightly, like any other seaplane so the nose doesn't go front first :)

Nope it is possible i have flown it up to 30,000 ft :) @Herpington
I can only get it up about 2 ft in the air. I have flown another erakoplan design and it got up about 2 kilometers.
Yeah, the point is though to fly it 20 ft above the water but yeah it flies happy Easter 🐣 btw @Captain123
