W - 1P Amphibious Helicopter

This helicopter is a simple little fun project I made for a CaptainCockerel's amphibious flying challenge, W-1P stands for "Water-enabled" - "Single Turbined", "PushProp" being the main functions of the creation.

Intended primarily to be used as a simple-to-use run-around heli, it has 4 seats and easy-to-use features that allow for simple use in transportation, exploration, or some missions. The water taxi function allows for a full boat-like movement in the water with zero-point turning and decent speed. The float's wheels can flip up while in flight and on the water to reduce drag.

Has proper lights and signage for role play

Water Taxi Mode:
-W/S for Forward/Reverse Throttle
-L/R arrows for turning
-L/R without W/S for zeropoint




-push prop does not engage until the altitude has reached ten feet

-Do not disengage water taxi mode at full throttle, I suggest turning off the turbine then de-activating the mode, and re-taking off as normal as described in the instructions

-If the landing gear gets stuck just level out the flight and retry it is a known issue that I can't fix
