The a new developement in floatplane technology, this high-speed aquatic intercepoter can reach 900mph and is quite manuverable. Its mid-range flight-length is made up for by the fact that this aircraft doesn't need a runway to land, just needs some room and some water. Its top speed on water is around 260mph and its max landing speed is around 400mph. Coupled with an overdose of airbrakes for sudden throttle downs, this aircraft looks great in anyone's aircraft fleet. Just keep in mind it tend s to pitch down and this effect increases when airbrakes are deployed.
Pls feel free to rate and comment.
Zing2000 I tried removing the wings for the competion but it stabilizes the jet when on water so it doesn't do some strange things when speeding up.

50.4k StingrayYes, Thx @Zing20009.7 years ago

50.4k Stingray@Zing2000 @hypnotoad Yes, in sandbox mode one can reorient the direction of launch and sometimes yes, you are right over the water! User error, mine. Great possibilities, now, for alternate types of SP vehicles.9.7 years ago

7,262 Zing2000Did it work?@Stingray9.7 years ago

50.4k Stingray@Zing2000 Thx, never saw "water takeoff South" and perhaps this is a Windows assumption. I'll try it from OSX Yosemite, since such an identifier does not appear on my mobile devices. (All devices have been upgraded to the waterworld/rotorcraft latest upgrade.) Many thanks, I'll re-try all launch assumptions ASAP.9.7 years ago

7,262 Zing2000@Stingray on the menu near the top under change whew there is an option for change location... Once you click that you can change your location to the uss tiny or the island or the water and some more places aswell as being able to set your own. All people who have made boats have launched them from "water takeoff South" one of the stock locations9.7 years ago

50.4k StingrayFolks, some of these boats (speedboats included) "look" great. Howe, does everyone rely on sheer luck to drop a boat forom 1,000 feet above the sea to launch it, or does SP have a simple launch method they are hiding from us newbies? @Zing2000 @CmdrAlex9.7 years ago
