Bob's Floatplane by Uncle T

823 bricks.

A simple, relatively low-brick small passenger plane/bush plane for Bob's Bush Flights or for island hopping etc. with room for 10 passengers.
This one is the float plane variant for landings on lakes and rivers and calm oceans.
It's not a replica of any real plane but it turned out to look similar-ish to the De Havilland Twin Otter I guess.

Top speed is about 340 kph.

CONTROLS
Alt controls.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrows / Mouse: Pitch.
Left/Right arrows / Mouse: Roll.
L/Headlights: Position lights.
B/Beacon: Landing lights.
K/Hazard lights: Take off boost. *

* This is needed since the drag of the water is huge in the game and especially a top engined plane will just dig in. So to take off follow this simple procedure:
- Start engines and give max power.
- Start take off boosters.
- Once you reach about 80 kph start pitching up. The take off boosters will help both with speed and with lifting the front of the floats out of the water.
- As soon as you lift off you can turn off the take off boosters again since they interfere with normal flying.

It IS possible to land on the water, but make sure to get the speed down to below 200 kph (at 180 kph it works decently) and veeery gently touch down to avoid flipping forward.

Feel free to edit (so change the skin/livery as you please), but if you reupload publically in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!
