[0.15 Stock] Vintage Seaplane "Albatross"

[Tembaco]

I present to you a good old triplane that can land and take off from the water.

The plane has good speed and handling in the sky. (un)Fortunately it has a very low take-off speed, making landing pretty hard at speeds above 25 m/s. Water landings should be nice and gentle, and I wouldn\'t go faster than 30m/s. To take off from the water you should come to a full stop, pull back on the stick and open the throttle, the plane should leave the water swiftly.

That\'s beautiful.

That\'s really amazing, nice work.

Glad you like it, I hope this\'ll inspire some people to make seaplanes as they are quite rare.

Sea planes are a bit tricky for me. I just can\'t nail the look I want with the capabilities it needs for a water landing. The best chance I had was a VTOL using a mod part to adjust engine pitch from 0 to 90 (mod part from damned aerospace or robotics?)

*shuffles around for picture* ah ha!

all well and good at takeoff guiding her down engines pull a magic trick on even the softest of landings

just one question remains, how can i get it to float?

I\'d like to find a basic bar *not strut* to hang a few empty fuel tanks from to form landing gear. suppose I\'ll scrounge around for one.

anyways awesome plane you have there!
