The Whitecap is an ultra small, pontoonless seaplane. It boasts a relatively long range in combination with amazing manoeuvrability at speed and high precision with its cannons. However, due to high instability at low speeds, the aircraft is sensitive to airspeed and change in wind direction. As such, it comes with a drouge chute which is used when landing and in emergency situations to allow time for the pilot to bail.
