Sea Hippo - Amphibian Cargo Aircraft

[FlipNascar]

So here we have the Sea Hippo Mk II with 129 parts (yes probably a bunch of superfluous stuff so if you're system limited rip out the custom nose and the fancy internals and you'll be good to go!). Originally conceived to carry a submarine to the water as part of the Deep Diver challenge. She's a capable little hauler, well that is from Land to Sea. Getting it out of the drink... Well, try not to have too much fuel eh?

She's got some state-of-the-art features, like a temperamental ladder connected to a structural fuselage to allow cargo bay access, nifty little water brakes that assure you'll be stopped in no time at all, and above all, benign handling that means she's actually a piece of cake to fly.

Pretty much if you can fit it in the cargo bay, it'll fly it to some water. I know. Amazing. Guaranteed to lift at least 40 tonnes from the runway. 

AG-7: Lights!

AG-8: Cargo Doors

AG-9: Flaps (make sure these are down for water take offs, and if you've got full fuel... Well it will take a while. And I mean like a soon™ kinda while...  )

AG-10: Water Brakes (make sure these are off for water take offs or you'll just be wallowing in a spray of shame)
