This is my first real look into hydroplanes - a rather plain (Hence the name), simple seaplane. Only the body created so much drag I had to mount upside-down horizontal stabilisers that create downforce to balance out the nose. Yeah. Flies rather well, other than that, though the rudder's a bit unstable. Level flight is found around 200mph.
