The first of the Saunders Roe flying boats,it is powered by 10 powerful prop engines. Its a bit bad in terms of pitch,but great for its size. Comes with some added camera angles. Start in the air,because water take offs never end well....

Thanks for the feedback!@LightMindedJedi
I did manage to make do a water takeoff first try, then had some takeoff mishaps for the next several attempts, then had another good water takeoff. All that is needed is very gentle nose up pitch at maximum water speed (first let it settle for about thirty seconds before giving it full throttle).
oh my. quite large!
