This is not an airplane. So please select ‘WATER TAKEOFF to drive like a speed boat. This will move around 100 mph as a speed boat. Controls are Yaw and/or Roll to turn. Fun to drive around the bandit islands. Enjoy!
If you have tested, please post some feedback for future modifications and upgrades,… thanks!
Your UP VOTES really meant to me.
WHAT IS EKRANOPLAN?
"A ground-effect vehicle (GEV), also called a wing-in-ground-effect (WIG), ground-effect craft, wings, flarecraft or ekranoplan (Russian: ?????????´? – "screenglider"), is a vehicle that is able to move over the surface by gaining support from the reactions of the air against the surface of the earth or water. Typically, it is designed to glide over a level surface (usually over the sea) by making use of ground effect, the aerodynamic interaction between the moving wing and the surface below. Some models can operate over any flat area such as frozen lakes or flat plains similar to a hovercraft"

@Trav78 once I tested a very simple version of this Ekranoplan, I was a beginner with SimplePlanes at that time - I like the one you did so much - which got more ground effect
Lol, wey farther more, Look at my other Twin Booms like: Caribbean-Dream-1 Sea Plane @GorillaGuerrilla
look where your twin boom challenge research leads me lol
@WinsWings ;)
