Our new medium bomber. This aircraft has great range and great payload, but it does lack in speed. 1-5 drop the bombs and 6 allows you to use the other manuver-flaps on the wings to run better when on the water. (Operation) When taking off, let it run in the water with out pulling up till you are at 200 mph, then pull. She is very stable for her design and flies get around 15-20,000 feet. (BE ADVISED!!!!)This plane will only really fly well with a joy-stick, using keys are to kerky for this craft. Dont say I didnt warn you.

    @SimpleTechAndResearch It's a seaplane. They didn't all have landing gear.

    @dilisvarskvlavi You can still fly it, it will just be difficult.

    @TheOwlAce I don't have enough USB ports to use a joystick on this machine, sadly, but its a great looking design! You'll soon be seeing a mess of submitted aircraft with you tagged, by the way. ;)

    @TheOwlAce Fair enough. I had the misfortune of leaving my joystick back home at the other end of the country XD

    @Squirrel That's the thing, it HAS to be for it to float properly, or else it would tip back and flip. Thats why its better to fly it with a joy-stick.

    Flies well, but it's a bit nose heavy. Probably due to the fact it's CoM is quite far forward. It's a great design though. It'll be interesting to see if you take this further!
