After a long hiatus, I've created my first successful float plane. Its just a basic rotary-prop single-engined plane.
It has large wings for very stable flight. Agility is also decent considering the aerodynamical disadvantage. Its also quite fast at the cost of range.
When landing make sure to pitch up to avoid prop-explosion or sinking.
Performance:
Takeoff Speed (Land/Water): 150/160 MPH
Landing Speed (Land/Water): 130/140 MPH
Stall Speed: 125 MPH
Cruise Speed (2400ft): 320 MPH (75% Power)
Max Speed (2400ft): 350 MPH
Range: 22 Miles (75% Power)
Have fun :D
