Fun with Floats

The Rufe like the WildCatFish has landing gear so in you can take off from any runway in FF. To land on water raise the landing gear like any other aircraft than land on water. In the left lower side of the panel is the CFS1 Fw 190 landing gear lights. Use it to check if you have gear down or up.
 
The Rufe was an interesting story in the history of Japanese air development, they thought it would be a wonder plane, being both capable as a seaplane and as a air unit, combining two of the main focuses of miiltary development. It was hoped for during the Aleutians and throughout the Pacific but it turned out to be very vulnerable to the US units used against it. In the hands of a skilled pilot it was effective but many of the replacement men were not very skilled or did not have the time to get that way.

Nice model that, thanks for it.

It works like a amphibian aircraft. If you land with the gear down the game will sink you.

@CrisGer
It was fun to do.
