@F104Deathtrap thanks

@F104Deathtrap ok

@Sergio666 Trim is a special control where you move something only a little bit. If the plane is flying crooked, or the nose keeps going down, you can move the trim control and make the plane fly straight.

Thank you very much friend, the third point I do not understand very well, but I think I am on the right track, I will rebuild the tail of the plane, and the rear elevators, anyway, I see that you have a lot of experience with seaplanes, I will label you so that try it, thanks a lot for the tips. @F104

Make sure that the back half of your plane is angled UP so that when you pull the nose up, the tail stays out of the water. Only the middle of the plane should ever be touching the water.

The plane has to lift its nose before it can take off. CLICK ME

Here's what I know about making seaplanes in SP:

First, you need a large, strong horizontal tail with big, strong elevators because you need extra strength to lift the nose. On a seaplane, you have to keep the engines away from the water, so they end up sitting much too high up to evenly move the plane forward. The high-mounted engines push the nose down, so you need that big tail to pull it back up.
Second, keep the tail high up and out of the water. Planes need to tip back on takeoff, and if the back half of the plane is underwater then you won't be able to pull up.
Third, use trim! Go into the options for the elevators and make them trimmable. Sea planes never want to fly even, they always pull down or up, so instead of having to pull up or down every 5 seconds, use the trim slider to carefully set the plane so it will fly level. You will still have to mess with the slider every once in a while, but it's much less annoying.
Fourth, accelerate slowly. Wings give you control based on your speed, but the propellers will pull your nose down based on how much throttle you give it. That means if you arent going fast, and you slam the throttle to 100%, theres a pretty good chance you will end up pushing the nose into the water or flipping the plane or something. Move the throttle up slowly.

I am too facing the same problem because I am making an arado ar 196 floatplane

@Sergio666 👌I'll see what I can do to help you.

Hello friend, because the truth is not, about the resistances, just change the wings, and set more power to the engines, I also put a provisional reaction one, and I have more power, but I can't take off, it seems to you if I publish it and I tag you, see if you can help me? @MDDJB

@Sergio666 Have you tried changing the resistance of certain parts or changing the height of the engine? Maybe the fuselage or engine is causing too much downforce.

I do not know if the problem is in the wings, because I put a provisional reaction engine, to gain more speed, but nothing, I think the problem will be in the masscale of the wings
