Consolidated PBY Catalina

Auto Credit Based on Feanor's Non-Consolidated YBP Catalina

Same as the previous one I built, however, the blades are slightly thicker for increased speed, and its more bouyant and now has retractable floaties on the wings. This one actually takes off on water. [Normal take off] Trim all the way down, throttle to 100%, and pull up at about 130mph+. [Water takeoff] Trim all the way down, throttle to 100%, and pull up the whole time. If those nose tips down too much the plane will throw a hissy fit. Once in the air bring the VTOL slider all t the way down to lift up the floaties. I reccomend getting rid of the bombs for a water take off, as it is carrying 2000lbs of them and that weighs it down. Note: thanks to Feanor for the fixed propellors.
