A sea plane I've been working on. Not based on any real planes, just a basic float-plane look. Can only land and take-off from water as is. I may attempt an amphibious version in the future. Flies relatively stable, but landing can be tricky, as hitting the water too hard tends to break the wings, and has a tendency to wobble a little. HAPPY FLYING!
(Tip: Before take-off, adjust the VTOL slider only very slightly in the up position. optimum take-off and landing is about 100 mph )

122 Tango71Can't believe nobody said it yet...It looks like the seaduck from tailspin. Unfortunately there is too much going on there for my iPhone5 and it runs very slow. I might modify this one to work. Great looking plane.9.6 years ago
