@RedBeard66 welcome. I recently discovered what you have - full throttle water takeoff is not the best - much better if I keep it lower. Plus I unloaded all the fuel in the wings and put it in the fusalage - seems to help - a little bit.
@Frogulaone I feel you pain on the float thing! They can be tough, I think it might be an SP physics issue because I had a heck of a time with my super float and you still can't take off with full power. And thanks for that truck load of up votes by the way!
@RedBeard66 Thanks I appreciate it. I REALLY tried to make this plane work with floats but no matter what I did to them I just could not make it not want to flip over the nose. The only way I could get it to not flip over was to extend them way out front and they just looked stupid. I like your designs by the way. Very nice.
I would be spotlighting this if I had more points!
There is so much awesome here and I haven't even flown it yet, nice details!
@Liquidfox @Deloreandude thanks a bunch. Glad you like it.
Wow, i usually like military aircraft, but this really looks detailed and great!
