Libra Mayfly

8,831 FuzzyAircraftProductions  1.4 years ago

The second sea plane in the series of Libra vehicles (I know the first one was four years ago. I got distracted). The Mayfly is fast and expertly manoeuvrable. The propellers are activated by 1 & 2, the lights are activated by 3. There are VTOL flaps on the wings. All of these functions can be controlled from the cockpit.

To take off:
VTOL all the way down and then start the propellers. Once the plane is in the air, bring VTOL up to about 1/4, then usual flight controls.

To land in water:
Turn the engines off and glide downwards towards the water. Then make sure that the floats touch the surface perfectly flat. Breaking should not cause it to tip over.
