Amphibious - VTOL Island Venture I & II

[Castille7]

From the Island Express Company a subsidiary of Sector 7 Space Laboratories we present to you the "Island Venture Craft" These craft are Island Touring Craft designed for those who like to take a break from all the Spacecraft building and have some fun on the Water.

Takeoff Operations:

1. During Takeoff you will need to lower the LY-10 Landing Gear 4, raise the Landing Struts 3 then release the Crew & Passenger Modules.

2. Activate RCS & SAS and apply full throttle

3. Press Space Bar once to engage the Lift Engines as the craft begins to hover Landing Gear can be raised and Press Space Bar to engage Rear Engines

4. When Craft reaches 60 to 70 m/s Lift Engines can then be disengaged

Landing Operations:

1. Lower Landing Gear desired and disengage the Rear Engines when approaching Landing Zone

2. Reduce Speed and use thrusters to assist with your descent

Island Venture I

Flight Controls (Action Groups)

1- Lift Engines

2- Rear Engines

3- Landing Struts

4- Landing Gear LY-10

Island Venture II

Flight Controls (Action Groups)

1- Head Lights

2- Water Effects Lighting

3- Safety Lights

This Craft had a few design changes and the design change on the bow made one of the best differences as seen on image 2, increasing the top speeds on land from 25 m/s to 60 plus m/s. Water speeds increased from the high 20's to the high 40's m/s. Warning lights are installed for safety awareness during boarding and takeoff. Note: Island Venture II is not VTOL and also if you plan to go on land at the Island the Engines need to be swapped for Wheesley Engines. Plans for future crafts in the series will do so.

Thank you Columbia, The handling isn't good on the Crafts that's why I titled them as Touring but they are fun. The "Island Venture I" can land on the water and return back into the air. The "Island Venture II" is more of a show boat, looks neat and nice speed for the size.
