Seagull fun flyer

[Scarecrow88]

This craft serves no real purpose other than to just have a bit of fun.

It has very forgiving flying characteristics - turn on SAS, throttle up and stage to fire up the engines and it will take off on it's own with no further input. It glides well, and landing can be held off until the speed is below 35 m/s. In fact it prefers slower landings, as if you try to put it down at excess speed, it tends to veer off the runway.

Staging a second time whilst in flight will have it doing what seagulls tend to do. I'll let you find out for yourself.

I've never seen those Mk3/Mk2 adapters used as a plane fuselage before; really well done on an inspiring design that actually looks like a Seagull!

In-flight staging did exactly what I thought it would do; though it wasn't quite realistic as my car wasn't parked underneath

Great job!
