Description
ICON A5 Amphibious Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) (1:1 Scale)

This is my first attempt to make a seaplane but I noticed that water density in Stormworks is far lower than real world. OR, components are 10 times higher than real world counterparts on average. Interior is also not watertight. Nevertheless I decided to complete it as a landplane.

Features
- Not amphibious due to its very small size
- Folding wings and landing gear
- GPS Autopilot
- Altitude Hold
- Half hour flight time
- Heater, first person equipments


SPECIFICATIONS
Crew : One pilot Capacity : One passenger Fuel capacity : 187 L diesel (18.7 mass) Empty weight : 675 mass Gross weight : 700 mass Wing area* : 115 r.s.a Wing loading : 6.1 mass/r.s.a Length : 7.00 m Wingspan : 10.50 m Height : 2.50 m Powerplant : Small Diesel Engine (up to 600 RPM) Maximum speed : 127 knots Cruise speed : 104 knots (throttle: 0.80) Range : 230 km with cruise speed * Wing area is rudder_surface_area (r.s.a) of total horizontal wings and control surfaces data in ..\Stormworks\rom\data\definitions. Sub-grid wings contribute less.

Update 1 Jan 2024:
- Fixed engine power being not capable of takeoff after a recent update broke it
- Ground steering now uses yaw input (it was roll input before)
- Increased yaw surfaces, reduced pitch surfaces
- Added thermostat to the heater to prevent it affecting the engine heat.
- Fixed the issue where pilot can leave the cockpit accidentally when canopy is closed.
- Still can't float on water

I tried the altitude hold and the plane just kept pitching up.

Can I use this in a creation by giving reference to this page(IDK why but I ask this in almost every creation of Thales and he usually says yes. But I will wait for an answer.

It's landplane in Stormworks, yes.
