Just a seaborne version of my fictional Japanese fighter.
READ THIS OR YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TIME.
Okay to take off you need to spawn on water (duh), set the trim all the way up, flaps to 100% (vtol down). Throttle up to 20% and pull the stick back like your life depends on it. While doing this you need to balance on the centre pontoon. Once both wing floats are in the air hammer the throttle, keep hauling back on that stick and it will take off I promise. Its kind of challenging but realistic. I'm not great at the flying part of this game and I can manage it so hopefully its not tok difficult. Also obviously when you get up set the flaps back to neutral and trim out the plane as appropriate. This is my first try at a single pontoon float plane let me know what you think!

@MajorSix I'm not sure actually the one I have saved is straight. Maybe I hit an undo before I shared it by accident or something.
@Chrisk1993 Good build but what's up with the main pontoon being off centre like that?
@LieutenantSOT yeah the original one with the wheels is my actual entry. Its a little better than this one performance wise cause it doesn't have a 1000 lb pontoon hanging off the bottom.
Really great!
In that case, I'll spotlight it
@Chrisk1993 you're fine
@LieutenantSOT thanks a lot. Btw sorry I forgot this was still saved as a successor to your challenge. Don't mean to clutter up your list. Obviously this one isn't another entry haha.
:O
Your creations are amazing!
