An improved version of my previous p.m. 65. I've done many aestetical and techical trimming.

The Savoia-Marchetti S.65 was an Italian racing seaplane built for the 1929 Schneider Trophy race.

The S.65 was a single-seat twin-engine floatplane of low-wing monoplane configuration with two floats. Its tailplane was supported by two booms and the floats, which extended well toward the rear of the aircraft. Its two 745-kilowatt (1,000-horsepower) Isotta Fraschini engines were mounted in tandem, each driving a two-bladed propeller, one in the nose in a tractor configuration and the other at the rear of the fuselage in a pusher configuration.

The S.65 was excluded from the 1929 race due to mechanical problems, and Italy was instead represented in the race by one Macchi M.52R and two Macchi M.67 seaplanes.

Tommaso Dal Molin of the Italian Schneider Trophy racing team was killed flying the S.65 during training at Lake Garda in northern Italy in 1930.

Pilot tips: pull the stick all the way up during take off run and after touch down, risk of front flipping is always high!
