Phase I of my entry for WinWings seaplane challenge.
A fictional depiction of what a successor to a military utility floatplane like the WWII Vought Kingfisher might look like in the early 1950's.
Powered by two Blasto-50 turbojets, this craft can dart around at 450 mph. Thanks to its novel system of extendable flaps, it can cruise leisurely at 150 mph with only 20% power.
Other fancy extras include:
=> Fully functional front and rear cockpits,
=> Opening canopies,
=> Dive brakes (in case you need to bleed off speed and height real fast).
Keep an eye out for Phase II update with folding wings and (powered) beaching gear

@Sockdragger I guess, you post that to UNLISTED before posting to PUBLIC. that's why. You can freshly do a new download build on that, and repost it.
@WinsWings yea, I don't know why the plane isn't listed as a successor to your game, I used your original flight controller (you can still see it between the two pilot seats). I will experiment with it when I post the next update later tonight.
Thanks for joining
