Savoia S.21 Folgore ~ Panzr

The Savoia S.21 "Folgore" is single engine fighter flying-boat that appears in the film Porco Rosso. It is based off the real life Italian aircraft, Macchi M.33. According to the protagonist, this is the only plane of its kind ever built and was abandoned after being declared too dangerous for a pilot to fly. Porco found it covered in dust in a warehouse and was able to master it. It was eventually shot down by Donald Curtis but was rebuilt. - Excerpt from Wiki

Landing Cradle: Unfortunately, this can only take off on land since water physics are broken so i have included a landing cradle that you can detach once you are off the land and in the air.

Special thanks to everyone on the multiplayer servers and especially Ryz for dealing with all my BS and making those fantastic looking gauges, thanks dude. I also want to thank Mr.-Cynical for also dealing with me and making this bird fly. He also contributed the script that allows Dogfight mode to work so huge thanks to you too.

I am also trying out a new style for the description, please let me know what i should improve or if i should go back to the old style that i did.
