Auto Credit Based on Rohan's Micro Plane CHALLENGE

My entry for the mini plane challenge, hopefully it looks enough like a plane to qualify! This plane MUST take off and land on the water, but weighs less than 1700lbs and is capable of near vertical climb. It is a glider, and functions at low speeds. It risks stalling ABOVE (not below) 100mph. If this happens, throttle off to regain control over the plane. It is a very interesting design, enjoy!
