1st in SPAVO's (Simple Planes Amphibious Vehicle Organization) hydrofoil series, this thing can actually reach speeds of up to 500 MPH! It barely touches the water...the secret? It's hydrofoil is built to create a cussion between the wing and the water surfuce. Join SPAVO and participate in many cool builds just like this one!
**READ BEFORE USING:**
Do not make the slightest adjustments to heading after exceeding speeds of 120-130MPH any slight adjustments will make this thing go all over the place. Instead throttle down to 20%, steer to the desired heading and throttle up! The hydro's design will keep it steady on set heading.
The controls are simple: Roll turns left/right and VTOL turns the thrusters.

Can i join?
@FlipposMC Sounds good!
@Rcb1235 Well first off we'll have to wait for more people to join, next everybody will have their voice and their part in suggesting things. I prefer to call this everyone's company ^^. Anyone who likes amphibious vehicles is welcome to join! We will likely discuss things in "Off topic" just to be on the safe side, I might also consult a mod. For now we'll just wait a bit!
@FlipposMC Sure! What sort of stuff should I make for your company?
@Rcb1235 So...wanna join SPAVO?
@Rcb1235 But less pretty :3.
@FlipposMC Maybe putting the hydrofoils on the outriggers would make it more stable.
@Rcb1235 Well balanced until you try to turn at speeds faster than 120MPH XD
Very well balanced, I love it!
