Auto Credit Based on CanofBeans's Ultralight Seaplane Challenge
My entry for the ultralight seaplane contest. This is a speedy little jet seaplane that handles well and is pretty easy to fly and land. Because it's so light, it can land and take off on land as well as sea, using the floats as skids. I put fuel in until the weight limit was reached, this gives it a flight time of three and three quarter minutes at full throttle, well over the target time.

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed too. @Geekpride
@CanofBeans I guess winning by default is a valid strategy. It's a shame more people didn't take part, this was a fun challenge.
I guess you won mate.
