Piper J3 cub seaplane

Auto Credit Based on BOSSentinel's [Closed] Seaplane Challenge!

This is my submission for the seaplane challenge, the plane is based off of and somewhat looks like a Piper J3 cub bush plane. This took me a week to build because of the repetitive testing i had to do to get this just right and this is how this turned out. How to fly the piper. Trim moves the rear elevators, use this to make small adjustments to the up/down movement. VTOL is for the flaps that help with shorter takeoffs. To turn on the lights use AG1. Incase you land in the water weird and you flip the plane use AG7 for the gyro, after it flips upright turn it off. I do hope that you will enjoy the Piper J3 cub and if so thank you.
