Beech Model S7-MJ & S7-MJW

This craft was inspired by the Beech Model 18 Craft and by MajorJim! The first flight testing wasn't going well because I used the VAB to begin the build then finished the design at the SPH. Because a cockpit was not used the craft was difficult to control. The Photovoltaic Panels were my first choice for windows then later I decided on the flood lights. The Seaplane version was not lifting off the water so Vernor Engines were added to the nose which works great. The craft is a little slow and reminds me of the B25 Mitchell, they look and seem to handle similar. Seating is accommodated with a theater to relax while flying.

Flight Operation
At takeoff full throttle is working fine for both craft, RCS & SAS are not necessary, although I've been using SAS for extended flight. Warp 4X is not a problem when using SAS. Landing is working great at half throttle during your approach then reduce speed as necessary but I recommend staying close to level and above 60 m/s. The MJW Model has reduced fuel for water landings.

 It's an amazing looking aircraft man and I love the sea-going version! Nice work. I will pretend I didn't see the little accident..
