Little update hopefully improves and fixes a few things.

this is the best thing ive seen fuel efficient, fast and insanly cheap

I did have issues with this myself, I think its just a bit too light with too much wing lift. Not sure how to fix it myself sorry. I can update it if someone finds a good solution though.

Sorry for the great delay I am looking into the flipping issue
Stef 25 Dec, 2024 @ 4:31am 
It works pretty well in general but one major flaw is how it flips in waves, like very easy flips in waves. It's messed me over several times and theres barely anything you can do to flip it over again

unless it doesnt update, its not fixed, almost ended my career :[
Gariot 26 Jan, 2024 @ 8:17am 
I think its fine. But do what you want to do :D
Shurq1  [author] 15 Jan, 2024 @ 12:51pm 
Suffocation issue should be fixed now. Thanks for mentioning it and thanks for subscribing!

I notice that catalytic converters aren't working as well as they use to... Do you guys want me to work on removing the smoke or do you not mind? Let me know.

so i just flew this for the first time and i have one major concern: the bilge pump rapidly depressurizes the cabin, making it deadly if the hatch is closed. to fix this i added a fluid relief valve and replaced the air filter with a fluid port end. other than that this plane is fantastic
Gariot 13 Jan, 2024 @ 10:17am 
Battery drain is very high and you suffocate if you dont leave the hatch open :D
AmateurGamer11 4 Jan, 2024 @ 5:57am 
battery drains like hell, otherwise the plane works well
Shurq1  [author] 30 Dec, 2023 @ 1:38pm 
Maybe try a gas valve between the interior and outside.
BackupPhoenix 30 Dec, 2023 @ 12:05pm 
I see someone else has the same problem, you keep taking what seems to be pressure damage when in the closed cockpit, but it stops when you open the hatch, any way to fix that?
Technician 29 Dec, 2023 @ 12:30pm 
I keep dying in the cockpit know what to do?
alex 8 Dec, 2023 @ 3:41pm 
try having the top door open then turn them on then close it open th wings and fly away

Any idea how to start this plane on water? Whenever I start the engine, it kills me
BIG LACHLAN 4 Aug, 2023 @ 7:19pm 
it's great, cheap, perfect for rescue missions, and easy to handle. My only issue is when on land handling leaves much to be desired
Shurq1  [author] 11 Jul, 2023 @ 2:30am 
@Wells There's an MC in the back, when in detects water it increases prop pitch.
Wells 10 Jul, 2023 @ 11:12pm 
how it takes off from water so smoothl? any sea plane i try to make just digs in water
Kellvak 21 May, 2023 @ 10:58pm 
thanks!
Shurq1  [author] 21 May, 2023 @ 9:49pm 
@Kellvak 6 to brake the props (engine must be off) or you can use space for the wheel brake
Kellvak 20 May, 2023 @ 11:02pm 
is there a way to get the props to stop spnning once i get in it, min power still has them moving and the plane moving slightly
Shurq1  [author] 11 Apr, 2023 @ 6:11pm 
@bossdom2010 Thanks! I just use the medical bed to revive incapacitated survivors.
bossdom2010 11 Apr, 2023 @ 4:51pm 
this thing is perfect. just add a defib or 2 and its the ultimate carer weapon
acgoalie 21 Mar, 2023 @ 4:58pm 
Favorite plane of all time good job
Shurq1  [author] 27 Feb, 2023 @ 11:13am 
@F1l1p007 It will work on its own.
F1l1p007 19 Feb, 2023 @ 5:34am 
hi can i ask someone. is the water pump woking by its own or you must press some button to use it

thx for respons
Shurq1  [author] 25 Jan, 2023 @ 7:33pm 
@__MRX__ Cheers!
MRX 25 Jan, 2023 @ 9:28am 
SAR so good series dude
Shurq1  [author] 12 Jan, 2023 @ 10:43pm 
@TreeSparr Thanks for the very nice comment! I try and keep everything as simple and user friendly as possible.

Been totally addicted to space engineers recently, so probably no more Stormworks builds for awhile. As to how it's done, I got one good tip from this build. I used yellow coloured blocks for any cubes that could later be replaced, I think finished with about 10 cube blocks.

If you got any questions about the plane I'm happy to answer them!
TreeSparr 11 Jan, 2023 @ 10:11pm 
Between this and your starter boat, you have become the gold standard in my eyes.

Everything is well documented, intuitive, refined, actually stocked for missions, etc. Look forward to more crafts as well as hopefully a guide on how you do it!
Shurq1  [author] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 11:52am 
@Bradentheman1 Thanks for the comment!
Bradentheman1 7 Jan, 2023 @ 12:38am 
amazing
Shurq1  [author] 28 Dec, 2022 @ 3:00pm 
@van der loo Thanks for the comments! The chair sometimes gets stuck, getting in and out of the seat again should make it move backwards.
Glad you're enjoying the build! I got a starter boat too for early career mode.
Let me know if you have anymore feedback, it's always welcome good or bad!
vanderloo 28 Dec, 2022 @ 1:28pm 
I got it! I was holding W (you know, for up) and smashing the plane into the ground on takeoff.
trying too hard, as usual

increase collective to 100% and give it a little S key
then reduce collective to half power once in the air, flies great

the plane flies *really nice* and is easy to land on water, not too bad on land also
I just flew around for like 2 hrs on custom mode, the auto stabilizer is *sweet*. once you get airborne, it's easy to fly, almost hard to crash (with the stabilizer on)

it's a great design. my only feedback is that it's a bit hard to get in and out of the cockpit, as I discovered on my first, fiery practice landing

great build, thank you! I would have spent weeks working on something this good
Shurq1  [author] 28 Dec, 2022 @ 11:39am 
@van der loo
Unfold wings
Deploy Landing Gear
Start Engine
Use Up arrow to increase collective to max
You shouldn't even need to pitch up (S key) as the the plane has auto takeoff.
Let me know if you're still having problems with it.
vanderloo 28 Dec, 2022 @ 1:23am 
I'm new to the game and trying to use this. I tried to take off from a runway but keep crashing. I think I'm using the Collective wrong? or should I be using a controller? the plane is really nice.. maybe I just don't know how to fly. thank you

@Thales Thanks, I've enjoyed your planes since I started playing!
Thales 14 Dec, 2022 @ 1:50pm 
Very good :steamthumbsup:
Wolfman 6 Nov, 2022 @ 5:17am 
When using it in multiplayer and I'm not the person hosting the world for some reason it puts the camera in my head so i can see my face. Does anyone else have similar problems
Shurq1  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 1:17am 
@jciverson Press subscribe and load it in at the workbench.
PissuanderNutelojkin 5 Nov, 2022 @ 2:18pm 
how to download it
Shurq1  [author] 4 Nov, 2022 @ 2:50pm 
@tadrock1 Thanks for the comment, glad you like it! There's not much space left inside but I'll try to add a hose for fire fighting.
BDSM farmer 3 Nov, 2022 @ 9:26pm 
this mod is incredible first time playing only a couple hours in and just amnaged to get enough to spawn it in holy fucking shit it was idk how to explain it other that pure joy it handles so well and is so fucking easy to usethe onl;y thing id want is like a water canon for fires i love this thing its cemented in my workshop no matter what also the amount of stuff fit in the tiny cock pit and the ability for landing on water makes it a really good option for sea operations
Shurq1  [author] 2 Nov, 2022 @ 10:59pm 
@BloodVoid1996 Was thinking about making a tilt rotor, but probably with a different chassis. I'd like to see what you do with it, so if you add a credit with a link back here I don't mind if you upload it.
Rosie0619 2 Nov, 2022 @ 9:48pm 
This is an impressive plane. Its light, nimble, and easy to fly after an hour of practice. I am wondering if you have any plans to make a similar build as a helicopter or tilt rotor vtol? The chassis looks like it could work for either with minor modifications. If not, would it be okay if I tried it? I won't post it without your express permission.
Shurq1  [author] 1 Nov, 2022 @ 9:37pm 
Thanks
