macchi mc72r

The Macchi M.C. 72 is an experimental seaplane designed and built by the Italian aircraft company Macchi Aeronautica. The M.C. 72 held the world speed record for all aircraft for five years. In 1933 and 1934 it set world speed records for piston engine-powered seaplanes; the latter still stands.

You must be asking why do racing planes have weapons?
Well honestly I was inspired by the anime senyoku no sigrdrifa it's a pretty good anime if you haven't watched it, and that's also the reason why this plane is pink.

Sorry if it's not similar, and I can't add too much detail because it will give too many parts

and here you can get a view of the cockpit, The cockpit is completely fictional, the real cockpit is not like this

how to startup

To startup engine you have to turn on all these switches and press all the buttons.

"sorry if the screenshots are bad I can't take better"

notes

1. if the overheat indicator lights up immediately turn off the override mode before your engine shuts down

2. Use reverse thrust to help reduce speed on water, can also be used to reverse

3. Using reverse thrust in the air will not make your plane fly backwards

4. Use the gyroscope to help turn in the water at low speeds

5. Don't turn on activate2 & activate3 at the
   same time

6. activating override mode will increase engine power and RPM but your engine can overheat

"Thanks for your attention"
