The SSP-1 Duck is a seaplane designed for long range flights at altitudes up to 35,000 feet. It can take off at speeds as low as 105 mph.
Notes: 1.) VTOL for air brake
2.) Keep the trim completely up along with the pitch for a smooth takeoff. ( You may need to use yaw to keep the plane
going straight on takeoff.
3.) Don't pitch down too hard at speeds lower than about 215 mph.
4.) Credit goes to Fishbowl1121 for the cockpit used in this plane.

The spotlight and the upvote are great too. Thanks!@Fishbowl1121
I was going for a 1930's wood-framed style seaplane. Originally, I was going to use two historic cockpits until I found this. Unfortunately, I had to remove the moving throttle because it got moved to a weird position; the yoke also stopped moving for some reason but I kept it in anyway.@Fishbowl1121
