Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's Sea Plane

WIG's are known for load carry capacity. This is 23000lb but it takes ages to get off then can fly. Can anyone tweak it to make it fly off earlier/less power/lower speed/increase weight. Too noobish to know what to do with it.

    Thanks for the comments:)
    Yes, the physics don't seem to be right. The water is draggy from 0 to 130 when it takes off but if you botch the take-off it'll skid around like its on ice.
    Once airborne I throttle back to about 50% (150mph-ish). It's designed to be flown with a gentle hand- there's not a lot of control authority.

    Yeah I figured it wasn’t supposed to but I think the type of aircraft you’re trying to make is very hard to build on SimplePlanes. I’ve seen models of other aircraft of the same variety but all of those flew too @roop298

    @Mustang51 Technically, it does fly. It's not supposed to.

    Not sure what you mean by 'decreases the torque'. You mean prop pitch? I did drop the blade dia but upped the blade count to compensate.
