AG1: Recovery Chute
VTOL: Flaps Up/Down (Inverted). Use for trimming.
NOTE: Always use full flaps when taking off from water. Land gently and at low speed; take off pulling elevators up always. Otherwise, the aircraft will tip over.
When operating the aircraft on ground: the aircraft's center of gravity is very close to the wheels, so the aircraft might tip backwards, especially after hard braking. This is a very small issue and is easily resolved by applying throttle again.
The S.HSR-10 Libélula (Dragonfly) is an amphibious two-seat light sports aircraft built primarily for sightseeing and basic aerobatic performance. The wide cockpit emphasises visibility, with the canopy covering essentially the entire nose of the aircraft.
Retractable landing gear and two floats connected to the twin tail booms allow the aircraft to operate both from land and water, and protect the pusher propeller even in case of a belly landing. The aircraft is remarkably agile, yet easy to control. The aircraft isn't particularly fast, but handles well at low speeds and has a stall speed of just under 50 mph.

@FlyingHueman
You did an incredible job with the cockpit as well.
@FlyingHueman hahaha I’ll check it out and attempt not to die while piloting it. I like the over manoeuvrable builds, they’re usually more fun to fly. I just want to try making things a little more realistic since some of mine would probably shatter the bones of whoever tries to turn in them hahahaha
@JohnnyBoythePilot Thanks! That was pretty much what I was going for, yeah. Though its sole reason to exist was that I wanted to try making a cockpit, lol
Wow this design is very beautiful & elegant!
@Mustang51 My next one is pretty much done in fact, I just gotta write down a description and wait for the right time to post it, lel. On the meantime though, I've posted a fighter just yesterday, and if this thing pulls too many Gs at low speed, that one would probably kill its pilots IRL... lmao
@FlyingHueman wow this is such a cool looking plane! Really creative build. I wonder how many Gs this thing pulls hahaha. The cockpit though is actually top tier. It’s really well made and looks realistic for such an aircraft. Really neat build and I’m looking forward to your next one!
@Bife @Sadboye12 Thanks guys, glad you liked it!
amazing as always brother
Amazing!
@Mustang51
So, this is the last of the planes I had in stock. Also my first custom cockpit/interior, albeit somewhat crude it's neat to fly around with. Might have come out a bit too agile though...
