Welp, that's a heck of a hiatus; but I'm back (for now) with another Pokemon-based vehicle. This time, it's a cute little ground effect vehicle based on the Gen VII water-type starter, simply because there are few GEVs in SimplePlanes right now, and a watercraft like this would make sense for the Alola region.
Controls:
VTOL controls the trim of the vehicle. This thing takes off at around 140mph, so a downwards trim can help it stay on the water.
When turning this thing, use roll while yawing in the opposite direction to achieve a sharper turn.
