A model based on a personal WIG aircraft design.
To fly properly, set VTOL to about 25%, then throttle up to around 30%. Try to keep the plane below 30 ft and just skim the water,
While the game doesn't seem to really model wing in ground effects, keeping the plane at a low altitude makes it feel pretty authentic.
Happy Flying!

@KiVZ yeah, ground effect does actually work in the game, just not very well.
@PK I though ground effect doesn't work as well but I managed to make a design that proved me it actually worked... It is a fully functional replica of Airfish 8 and if you want you can give it a try
