Auto Credit Based on AeroEngineering's P-51 Custom Mustang Challenge

Designed to use spares from War Surplus Mustangs the SeaHorse uses the same wing, tail and fuselage assembly together with some clever spares and two floats to make a vertical take off capable single seat float plane that is able too operate off land or water and has excellent short field performance with good range and a high cruising speed. Be careful of pulling high G's at speed and keep the nose up when near the deck. 1 and vtol up folds the gear, vtol up for normal flight, middle for VT, down for engine braking.
