50K special!
Hi guys! This was origionally meant to be a short project, but it ended up taking just as long as any of my other projects, so lol. I built this plane to be higly functional, so it has cool features on it such as opening doors.
Here are the controlls:
-Act1+VTOL down: Open right hand side doors.
-Act2+VTOL down: Open left hand side doors.
-Landing gear: Raise and lower water rudders.
-VTOL down: Flaps.
-Act3: Landing light.
When landing, I reccomend only going down to full flaps just before the flare because tthe flaperons mean that the plane doesn't really like to change direction at full flaps. And if uou do put them down earlier, keep your speed up a bit and use lots of yaw.
This is probably the best working sea plane I've ever flown, and it is great to fly!

@Chancey21 Nudging... I guess.
@Spacedoge12345plane Cool!
I’ve been in one of these. A beaver and a otter
How did you get it to rise up on the step so nicely?
That’s one shmexy plane
You should make a turbine beaver variant. Wheels and floats
Np! @Spacedoge12345plane
I’ve been in this plane irl and in the dehavland otter. Really cool planes, thanks for making them!!!
They even had a jet-powered bi-plane called screaming sasquatch there@jamesPLANESii
No I haven’t. :( anyway sounds cool! @Megaplanesinc
