The G-142 Albatross is a swift light (ish) aircraft that was originally meant to be amphibious. The fuselage is still buoyant, but it won't land in the water. It has a pretty decent range, with the longest test flight being around 240 miles before it ran out of juice. There are a few very important things to note, however.
Controls:
AG1-4 activates lights. VTOL manages vertical movement (both of these can be managed from the cockpit camera). Rest is regular flight controls.
IMPORTANT STABILISATION ISSUE: When you have been flying for about 10-15 minutes at high speed at high altitude, it will tumble out of control. The best method I have found to not crash is to cut the engines and let it fall through open space for several seconds, then start the engines again and use the rear stabilisers to right the aircraft.
