Brief History
The dornier seastar made it's maiden flight on the 17th of August 1984, however suffered damages in an accident which caused it to be retired. Two new prototypes were later created in 1987 (D-ICDS) and 1988 (D-ICKS).

How to fly
A1: Open/ Close doors (the door handles move!)

Water takeoff and landing
Takeoff can be a bit bouncy, gently using the elevators and the flaps will ensure you have a good takeoff
Landing is self explanatory, just softly land on the water

I love that push-pull prop and the selection of the design. Great work
