this is an example. I used many XML.
The changes are as follows
・Float and wing design changes
・Changing the weight balance including fuel
・Change of engine horsepower
・Body extension
etc
(float model:A6M2-N)
@Odst578xl small floatplanes are quite tricky to make. I remember a couple years ago I was trying to make a swordfish and I had the exact same issues
Thank you so much for the advice, it had flown properly before I added the floats and I don’t have a lot of experience with floatplanes so your tips really helped @Mustang51 @SpeedDemon348
So I played around with it for a little while I think the best way to fix it is to redesign it to a more proportionate size. If you want wings this long, make the fuselage longer too and make the tail bigger. You’re also going to have to make it a lot lighter than it is. You’re using a prop motor so you don’t need nearly as much fuel as you have!
It doesn't take off though. You may need to XML the horse power or put negative weights.
Ok
