WP-1 Red Snapper

Red Snapper is a seaplane equipped with two JP-101 turboprop engine. The plane has three large buoys, which allows it to takeoff and land on rough seas. Taking off from water is a tough job, so I have equipped the plane with a vizzy takeoff assistant (I'm not sure if the system always work, please notify me if it doesn't). It's my first attempt at amphibious aircraft, so any suggestion will help!

Instructions:

  • Break slider: depolys airbreak
  • All controls are default

Notes and Cautions:

  • All vizzy programs are coded into the Gyroscope
  • Pitch is locked when the plane is taking off from water. it will unlock once the plane is 5m above sea level.
  • Do NOT temper with slider 2 and AG4, those are for pitch and takeoff controls.

Edit: It appears that sometimes the plane can't takeoff from water. I have further reduced the mass of the plane so that takeoff can be easier
