I hate the pistons on this game, the skis do what they are meant to using vtol but the pistons stop me getting them in exactly the right place.... sorry. Anyway someone requested a seadart so here it is. The Convair F2Y Sea Dart was an American seaplane fighter aircraft that rode on twin hydro-skis for takeoff. It flew only as a prototype, and never entered mass production. It is the only seaplane to have exceeded the speed of sound.

@RamboJutter i once tried to make a single ski version of your one that i never intended to release and just puting the piston was a pain and i had to study how you did it
@Justadood they are just so annoying on the game when pistons just move and do what they want... thanks though, I might re-visit this concept at somepoint
I am just gonna say this "making skis for a sea dart separates the men from the boys"
@Morozdalisa sea dart done
@Tang0five thanks man, it didn't disintegrate on me, almost every part has collisions turned off. When I first tested it it did do a weird thing where the throttle still worked even when it had ran out of fuel but I dialed the power back and that seemed to fix it. I'm not massively happy with it personally as it ended up a bit fatter than the real thing and those flipping skis are a pain, but overall it seemed close to the real thing. I should have put more detail in but I ran out of enthusiasm for it.
Bang on once again with likeness to the sea dart. I’m beginning to think you're an actual wizard when it comes to that! Does seem to disintegrate above 50% throttle but I never let that get in the way of a great build! Very soon I feel (and quite rightly too!) I’m not going to be able to spotlight your awesome builds. Good for you, please keep doing what your doing!
