Hi Simpleplanes community! I present to you- the Pathfinder-2! This seaplane is capable of traveling long distances and landing, taxiing, and taking off from multiple terrains. It also has a bed that makes you feel like you're in an MRI machine. Nice and cozy...

  • Fuel-Efficient
  • Bed
  • Parachute
  • Can Steer Sharply when taxiing on water
  • Bed
  • Detailed Cabin
CONTROLS:

AG2 - Parachute
AG3 - Water Taxi Mode (Differential Airbraking)
AG4 - Landing Light
AG5 - Beacon Light

HOW TO USE:

  1. Take Off: DO NOT USE AG3 (Water) Make sure the gear is up to minimize drag. Lower VTOL (flaps) to -0.5. Throttle to 100%. Pull up. Use rudder to correct plane.
  2. Landing: DO NOT USE AG3 (Water) Raise gear. Lower flaps to -1. Stall the plane and pull up when close to the water.
  3. Taxiing: (Water) Use airbrakes (AG3 with Yaw) to steer. (Land) DO NOT USE AG3 Use Yaw to steer.
