The Sound Aircraft Ltd. Vertical Takeoff Light Fighter. This craft was designed with a nautical approach in mind. Able to take off from anywhere, but can only land on water, for retrieval by ship. However it can also takeoff again from the water. Takeoff and flight instructions as follows. (1). Throttle 100% (2). Act 1 to detach land gear. Don't do this too early, as it releases a lot of weight. (3). When landing on water, Thrust down to 0% and glide in. Use the parachute, Act 2, when you touch the water. (4). Leave parachute attached for re take off, when the craft begins to lift detach parachute. Have fun and please comment.
