Love it. The adjustable angle of attack makes is much easier to flip back over if you get upside down too.

Brilliant use of floats (landing simple @ gentle 110 mph), and yes the wings crank upwards for more lift (less upwards, please) for successful water takeoffs. Using Hi-res on my ipad, can be flown via standard control input. However, the wings do vibrate , which does not affect land ops but will cause many spills in the water. Great work!

I have a model one of these and it flies just like it. Great work.

@thomasjaf iPhone on low physics, just tried on high physics and it flies but the wing rotators are still very unstable. I'm not sure of the best way to make them more structurally sound, but like I said, this thing looks awesome.

@SkipperBing Crap, on what device/quality are you playing? You cannot even get airborne? I tested it on my laptop and it was working fine, flexy but fine :(

Looks amazing, but the wings aren't holding stable enough to fly it. I've been meaning to try this plane again since the update came out, now I have some competition haha.
