LINK TO MORE MOBILE FRIENDLY AND LAND VARIANT: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/fSpXtW/Vought-Sikorsky-OS2U-1-Kingfisher-LAND-VARIANT
The most realistic OS2U on the entire site! It features realistic floats (super proud of them), realistic top speed (164 mph at level flight), and is able to take off from water! This was my favorite build so far, and it's also one of my best 1:1 scale replicas.
Controls:
VTOL: Flaps (DO NOT EXCEED HALFWAY DOWN)
Trim: Trim
AG1 + Yaw: Pontoon Rudder. Deactivate AG1 once flight is achieved.
CAM 1 and CAM 2: Passenger/Downed Pilot View
Instructions:
TAKE OFF:
Flaps down to 1st notch or halfway and trim all the way down. Then, full throttle. Once plane reaches 60 mph, hold pitch down so plane doesn't nose over. At between 106 to 115 mph, the plane will lift off gracefully. Retract flaps but leave trim down. Max speed is 164 mph level.
LANDING:
Not much to say, just make sure you flare and touch down softly or else the plane will nose over. You've been warned.

@Cerdon Unfortunatley I am not planning to make a V2 Kingfisher. The land version has a 303 in the front though
@EpicPigster1 This is awesome do you think you could modify it so its the Kingfisher with two crew and a 303 tail gun as well as 2 303 front guns

Huh... Vought-Sikorsky. "politics makes strange bedfellows!" Bey seriously, great build!
Absolutely amazing!
Tips for you all, DO NOT LAND ON LAND.
Awesome job once again!
For such a new builder, your builds are of top quality. Your planes remind me of mine, very similar style. At this rate I won't be able to spotlight you any more. Keep it going!
Finally I've been waiting for a good one for a while@EpicPigster1
