The predecessor/proof of concept for the ES-7. Although, this is given a higher designation due to how I've prioritised the uploads. This aircraft also utilises tilting wings (activator 2 with VTOL slider) and fold-away floats (activator 1 with VTOL slider). One downside to this aircraft is the engine placements; they cause the aircraft to try to pitch down on takeoff and cause it to pitch up when reducing the throttle. Aside from that, it's a decent aircraft to fly.

    Go for it. I've found that modernising aircraft can improve the aircraft's performance, makes them look nicer too. Also, thanks for the upvotes!!
