An amphibious bomber, the Monsoon is my first "heavy" bomber and seaplane. Armed with six Boom 50s, the Monsoon is built to strike targets at a distance. The floats attached to the wings do fold inwards as well. (Note: In order to use the landing gear, the floats must be unfolded. Also, the rear gears tend to vibrate when the plane is on the ground. This should not affect performance.) Lights are Group One. Slider: Up is folded. Middle is deployed. Down folds outward. I personally think the floats look better when folded inwards, but folding outwards can be done.
