Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Seaplane Challenge 2/2024 (CLOSED)
A more advanced model of the BV-28S. The aircraft can takeoff from the sea way better then the original BV-28. The plane tends to go up once you leave the water, so I’d recommend trim. Also somehow don’t go up too much or you will PSM to death. The aircraft was made in 2000 to replace surviving BV-28Ss that are still in service. Around 20 were created.

@Boeing727200F it’s not that important for winning. But I enjoy going through all the designs and build. Thanks for joining.
... Might be beyond my rights to talk about this here, but on the topic of challenges, any interest in one focussing on simpler/rugged build things? Still in consideration, but I'm trying to work out if it's something anyone would have any interest in.
Third paragraph is rough idea.
I would think it'd give later ranking players a bit less of an advantage, since looks would be less prioritized, in balance with keeping part count/performance cost from getting too high.
I'll delete this comment, if you'd like.
Join the revolution, comrade.
@WinsWings I already know I have no chance of winning this one, platinums and high golds will most likely post way better aircraft then this and take the wins.
@WinsWings it is ok, they are water proof
Goos start, interesting with the jet intakes. It may be more realistic if you move the engines above the waterline
