Auto Credit Based on ProvingMars's New Unified Rotator
The front struts were just begging to be a float plane.
Retract the landing gear before water take-offs. Get her up to 110-115 mph with trim neutral, then pop her off the water and level out for more airspeed before climbing. Then trim up a tick and a half.
Its a patrol plane. Slow, Steady, Long Flights. (It has over 5000 lbs of fuel)
Easy on the roll, I still have not reduced the skew range.
The unified rotator in not so unified now. Note the two rotators on the engine nacelle. They are ghost linked to thier respective parts.
I added trim control, and the floats, of course. I am still working of the natural trim. It still wants to pitch up at neutral trim. I am trying to get the trim close to zero.

@robloxweponco A little shaping on the pontoons and she floated nicely. Just read the description about water take-off.
Thank You for the vote.
I'm surprised how well the pontoons fit with the design!
