Consolidated PBY Catalina Poleax

Started off with trying to make a replia PBY and ended up as something a little bit different.

Features:
PID Flight assist - Freshly microcontrolled PIDs allows for assisted flight, levelling & smoothing roll and pitch while not significantly hampering regular flight, note that vehicle still climbs a bit by itself from lift

Watertight Boatplane - Practice your crouch jumps trying to even get in the damned plane, but at least the damn thing is watertight. Its also a boat!. Note that Water lift off mode will pitch the engines up so you get enough lift, some co-ordination required to switch back to normal flight mode so you dont flip backwards into the sea.

Internal elevator - Ladders are for plebians, and you my friend are only semi-pleb. Elevator/hatch up to the roof of the plane. Ladders on engines allow access to the wings and engine bay

Funky landing gear - Has the abiltiy to taxi through the power of small generators and fancy stowing mechanisms to allow enough space to the rear of the plane

Sometimes explodes - No really, will sometimes spontaneously combust, no idea why though.

Parachutes - For when the plane is on fire and you managed to just survive.


Probably wont work on it anymore until water dumping becomes a thing, and too lazy to implement GPS :P, have fun!
