I did this on 3 trys. 1 I crasheed at start i detached to early
2 was that the wheels rolled but 3rd i got it. its a very nice plane and helped me alot!
Nice plane. However as mentioned already the landing gear falling into the water botches the attempts. Just putting an angled block on each of the detachers sideways tends to fix it if you detach before passing the carrier tower. Otherwise good job.
for me it spins out of control and when u detach the landing gear, it touches the water and disqualifys you. :(
NICE
I keep spinning out, when flying this one in the challenge. :/
I'm a horrible pilot, however, so that's not saying much.
