Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!


a rather... mundane and moon-faced Floatplane. flies decently yet i feel like it has something wrong with it... it also feels like it's on rails instead of the usual natural slidey that I like, which just.. feels odd.

kinda wassy planned to be an entry to @Winswings Seaplane challenge but performance leaves less to be desired, it definitely could be better too but I have a tenet of not going over 50 parts(except bombers, they can go to 60 parts cause of.. bombs.)


The Mitsubishi F1M (Allied reporting name "Pete") was a Japanese reconnaissance floatplane of World War II. It was the last biplane type of the Imperial Japanese Navy, with 944 built between 1936 and 1944. The Navy designation was "Type Zero Observation Seaplane"

[ Controls ]

  • Standard Aircraft Controls

[ Guidelines ]

[ Takeoff ]

  • Throttle 100%, pull pitch all the way down, takes off at around 160km/h(99mph), flaps will automatically retract when you get enough airspeed.

[ Flight ]

  • Standard Controls, nimble but it's handling leaves less to be desired... from a realistic-ish perspective, it's decent enough.

[ Landing ]

  • 10% Power, approach water slowly, land when airspeed is about 100km/h(62mph) or slightly lower, cut throttle and let hydrodynamics slow your aircraft down.

[ Armaments ]

  • 2x Type 97 Machine Gun, 600-700rpm, decent enough against light targets but leaves less to be desired for more armoured aircrafts.

[ Notes ]

  • IJN Yamato in the background belongs to my old Target ASAP series of ships, which prompts me to say.. i have about 32 ships in total in store, a lot of famous/infamous ships such as the Yamato Sisters, Alicorn, and.. a lot really.. i don't wanna point farm dirtily(especially since i'm close) but do y'all want me to upload em?

Free to use!

if ya want to make an airbase, or maybe make an airwing for a carrier, or maybe to help battleship lead their shot, you can add and use any of my planes(unless you claim them as your own creation, i will bite you if you do.)
