Sunstreak PR (F) MK 1 - Twin Boom Challenge

Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Twin-Boom Challenge [CLOSED]

I built this completely fictional aircraft for my first challenge. I imagined it as a late-war amphibious photo-reconaissance/fighter bomber aircraft. This is the PR version, and there are no weapons. I plan on making a version with a fully functional cockpit and weapons later. In terms of performance, the Sunstreak has a top speed of 423 MPH at 5000ft, is decently manouverable and retains speed very well through turns, but it has a little bit of a slow roll rate. It has a fairly high take off speed but a very low stall speed of about 100 MPH. Due to the large wing surface area, you only need to use flaps to take off and land on water. Flaps are controlled by VTOL. To land on water, you MUST slow down to about 105 MPH and GENTLY touch the water or the sunstreak might flip. It is recommended to use full flaps to land. To take off, use full flaps, fully open the throttle and pitch up. The plane will take off from water at about 115-120 MPH. Have fun!
