About

The Solent Golden Star (ICAO code: S45G) is a twin engine electric executive seaplane. First flown in March 2025, it has been serially produced by Solent since April 2025.

Autopilot

I didn't have time to make the new autopilot (aka just without a gyroscope) because i suck at time management, but i just imported the one of my last plane, the S-19X.
