History & design
A virtual ground-effect experiment
Lake Skipper belongs to the Got Friends Legacy Collection, alongside its earlier experimental aircraft and Cub modifications. It explores very low flight over water, using the simulator to portray ground-effect flying just above the surface. Its place in this library is as a developer-created flying experience: the source documents that virtual purpose rather than a manufactured aircraft, certification programme or airline service history.

A water-surface experiment in the Legacy Collection
Got Friends places the Lake Skipper alongside its earlier Cub modifications and experimental designs in the Legacy Collection. The developer’s description centers on flying just above the water using ground effect, making the water surface part of the intended flying experience. It is presented as community content with an individual PC package and a separate collection distribution. The description establishes that virtual role, but supplies no conventional manufacturer performance sheet or certified-aircraft operating limits.
