cruises nicely at about 130, barely skimming on the water, take the design and make it better. I'm no good at this game.

    I never was able to get up to the speed at which the Hydrofoil started working. Which is odd, considering that it had a jet engine instead of the two small propellers that I used on mine. I'd put it's lack of speed down to the fact that you used BLOCKS instead of the structural wings that create next-to-no drag and have a smaller visual impact. Overall, a good concept that I improved on.

    I downloaded it, and I made it better! Here's what I made out of the concept: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/gf82GG/Hydrofoil-2-0
