Xcub Floats

Auto Credit Based on Chancey21's XCub™

THIS XCub was not made by me all credit goes to @Chancey21 I started this build as the Upgraded Xcub I modified from its original version however since it now has 2 floats the performance is now much worse than its upgraded counterpart however top speed wise it outperforms its original version. Flying it does take a little more skill than its geared cousin First you want to put flaps at full down while you have group 4 active then set throttle at 100% wait till 70 mph then slightly assist with the elevator when you are at about 100mph very slowly raise flaps while compensating with the elevator as you raise flaps then when you are centered on the altimeter press 3 readjust yourself and start flying to wherever
To land simply set throttle to idle whatever you do DO NOT BRAKE until under 100mph and even then slowly tap your throttle down/brake while compensating by pitching the nose down then set flaps as necessary to land. Make sure to check out the original by Chancey21.
