And since I already made several variations of a fictional twin-engined sea plane using the wings and fuselage of the real-life Junkers A-50, I had to post the original single-engined historical A50 here as well.
This is as true as it gets to the original, including a historically correct top speed of 160kmh/100mph. For paint scheme I choose a real life A-50 that until recently hung at the departure hall of the Helsinki airport. Still, nothing says that you can't make your own paint version with your own paint job. In fact, I encourage you to.
Flying is generally pretty easy and pretty safe as long as you don't slam on the brakes too hard when landing. Like all taildraggers in SimplePlanes, she has the tendency to flip over real easy.
That's basically it, enjoy!
Ps, The figures I used the pilot and student can be downloaded HERE. The heads are chosen from the collection available HERE
