Re-upload with better weight balance.
Inspired by an article about the AT-802F Firefighting float plane, I started building a float of my own. It turned into a torpedo bomber inspired by the "Fire Boss" as well as WWII fighters. Lands on either land or water just fine, water take offs take a bit more finesse (use delicate yaw to keep straight).
Group 1 and VTOL elevates forward gear for water take offs and landings
Group 2 drops torpedo
