Auto Credit Based on OscarIsHere's Medium Multiprop trainer

Yeah Yeah, the body is that of my last upload. This is mainly an experiment with floats and creating floatplanes. It does have landing gear of the bottom of the floats if you so desire to land her at and airport. She takes off from the water around 220mph or so. However, she does start leaning fowards as she builds speed. I just adjust the trim all the way down and pull back on the stick. She flys very smoothly. From land she will lift off around 260mph or so. Originally I wasn't getting enough power to get out of the water so I tried added a third engine Dornier Do-18 style (aircraft people will get it or you can just look it up) but that ended up causing bad handling. In the end larger blades was a temporary solution ( i believe them to be the problem of her leaning fowards.) If yall wish to come up with your own solutions go ahead and do so, just send them to me so I can see what you have come up with. Enjoy!
