The spiritutal succesor to the Expermental Air-Ground Unit. Used for millitary operations by the Krakabloan Millita.
ActivationGroups:
1: Activate car mode. Pitch for throttle and yaw for steering. Use VTOL to fold wings.
2: Activate air mode. Normral VTOL plane controls.
3: Toggle beacon lights.
4: Deploy parachute.
Backstory:
The Mk.I Experimental Air-Ground Unit was a resounding breakthrough in the world of All-terrain vehicles. Immediately, the Millita wanted to weaponize the craft for combat operations. However, peace activists sabotaged the EAGU, and it was destroyed when it tried to fire its weapons. Ironically, this replacement is stronger and more versatile than the first. It is even capable of water landings.
The non-weaponized version was also replaced by the Mk.II EAGU.

I've remade my AEV, with many of the features that this now has!
No. I should've done that though. @KSPFSXandSP
@Awsomur Mine was too. That was before I modded them to have 20x the bouyancy that they usually have! Does yours have retractable undercarriage?
Ironically the thing is too heavy for the floats, it's the main fuselage that keeps it bouyant. @KSPFSXandSP
Interesting....
I notice many similarities to my design (the floats on the landing gear, for instance), but I notice many features that I hadn't even thought of putting on (like the folding up wings, rather than backwards)
