In the year 2020, TylerThePilot decided to make a futuristic plane for fun (he was really bored). After only two attempts and 15 minutes, he came up with a sketchy plane he called "The Sea Hopper". He submitted the design to the Coast Guard and the Air Force in the year 2021. He hopedthat the VTOL would help his chances, but it didn't. The plane was far too unstable, and having to pitch up on VTOL takeoffs caused many joysticks to fail. He didn't have any options for awhile, and basically lived in the cockpit because the landlord kicked him out. Then, hope came in the form of a newspaper. The air and water show!!! He spent what little he had on fuel and the entry fee. This was his last chance; all or nothing. When his turn came, he crossed his fingers and pressed the throttle. All of a sudden, cheers erupted from the crowd! The rickety looking flight, and the unstable takeoffs led him to stardom! He landed a show in the local list for 2 years, then went national for 12 more years. After, he made enough money to support himself, he retired from the show biz and opened a flight school in his hometown, named "Hopper Academy" after his plane. Fortunalely, time travel has enabled us to retrieve the plane, and make our own tweaks and adjustments. Controls: According to our calculations, the controls are basically the same. Except on VTOL takeoff, pitch up, and go back and corth when necessary. You'll get used to it. And to slow down, put the VTOL forward and gas it. I guess Tyler can't think of everything...
