Auto Credit Based on A5mod3us's (CLOSED/JUDGED) Ultralight Seaplane Challenge

Improvements on my original Pond Scum seaplane. I added retracts and speedbrakes and messed around with the balance a little bit. Not a looker but a real performer. Flys kinda slow but does have power for loops and rolls. Very stable design and can be flown without ailerons as a rudder, elevator, throttle airplane. Hold some up elevator until about 170, and this plane should climb quite easily Thanks @A5mod3us for this great challenge
