Curtiss JTN Bomber Prototype

566 Knight  6.7 years ago

I am uploading this in its prototype state because I am lost on how to get it to take off from the water since its CoT is higher than everything else and If I put much more weight on it then it'll just sink. Beside it not taking off from the water I didn't find anything else that was outstandingly failing so I just put some landing gear on it and decided to upload it before I get off. A lot of my builds are half finished and I apologize for that. If someone wants to fix it then I'd really appreciate it. If someone or myself can get it to fly off the water I may go ahead with tempting the bombing mechanism and rescaling the engines or engine pods to fit them better but for now, I'm leaving the project until the next time I get on SP.

Edit: Don't you just hate it when you realize what might be wrong after you already quit. Anyway, if someone wants to try fixing it a possible solution may be extending the pontoons to prevent the plane from front flipping after hitting around 70mph. Good luck!
