This is our first seaplane! It's a bit clunky and weird looking, kind of like a potato. Here's the description.
The Broadsword was used extensively during World War II and Vietnam. It is a very tough and hardy craft, able to land in seas as high as 7 feet. There are about 137 of these flying boats operating today, while many more are on display in museums .This is the unarmed version.
-PLEASE READ-
This plane is extremely hard to fly,like a potato,and if one of you wants to try and make it actually work, go ahead! :) Please re-upload this plane if you fix it so I can have a look at it.

@InternationalAircraftCompany sure.
Okay! Thanks!@Searay
@InternationalAircraftCompany the wings and the engines is the issue. The CoT is too fare forward. And the CoL is also too far forward. That's the issue. I'm still attempting to fix the issues.
I couldn't get it to fly without looking wierd when landed.@Searay
@InternationalAircraftCompany I have found 2 possible problems with the aircraft
1: the airplane turns randomly when taking off and landing.
2: CoM, CoL and CoT are unbalanced.
I will fix these problems and you still get full credit ok?
Sure! Help away! :)@Searay
I can help. Is that alright?
That was my inspiration! :) @General360
