My version of the famous flying boat. On takeoff you want to wait till your at about 100Mph then start pulling up and keep pulling up till it gets off the water. Then let it flying off the water for alittle till you pull up again. CAUTION: this plane is a picky girl and has a very odd balance. She likes to tilt forward but if you pull up too hard she will go into a stall instantly so be careful.

    I guess. I saw yours before and I had made a DO x before I found yours then I deleted it because it was terrible. So this had been on my mind for a while and why should it matter if I make the same plane? Does it really look like yours?

    @TheOwlAce but... Just advising try not to do the same plane as someone else you might not get as many ratings as you want from it and btw mine only had a jet engine because it weighs like 50,000ibs you have a nice lil small version

    Im not going to put a jet engine on a prop driven seaplane. And its not that bad of a problem as long as your gently with her.

    CoL is too close to the CoM move the Com forward with a VTOL engine or bring the CoL back and you will probably be fine.
