Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Seaplane Challenge 2/2024 (CLOSED)
With the challenge for a new sea plane out, Frogbot Inc decided to enter a new an unqiue design. We have made a two seat, light craft tour plane. The Fp-001 is a great way to take in the sights. It is a little light, and can snap roll really easliy. So don't try anything if you are low and don't want to go for a swim

@windshifter1 Thanks! If you want to post the updated version with the landing gear coding, go for it. I'm really grateful for whatever you got
also the stability issue makes sense
@frogbot4000 I'm really busy trying to get out my own aircraft for an SP challenge closing in 11 days time, but I have managed to dabble a little on your craft. I did a bit of Funky Trees code on your rotators and pistons, so now instead of having to use AG2 with VTOL, then AG3 with VTOL, you can just use the landing gear button and it'll do both at the same time, with the appropriate delays to avoid clipping. I think your flotation issue is that the pontoons aren't large enough, thats all. I've already got something in mind, but it will take a little while.
@oldmate52 thanks mate
Nice
