From what I can tell, I think it has 2 main problems. It’s too heavy in the back, and it doesn’t make enough lift to take off.
I would suggest making the wings longer so you can make more lift, and maybe try to make it lighter or move the weight further up in the fuselage towards the front.
I always really liked traveling as a young lad, and planes were kind of a symbol of that for me. Toy planes were always super fun for me, and I guess it was that feeling of freedom and uniqueness of a plane that I loved. I’d flown to Hawaii twice then, and already had that childish love of the military. On my second trip, we went to Pearl Harbor and saw this informational video in a little theater there, and honestly, there was something so intense but so cool about the roar of Plane engines and the loud explosions in the video that just hit something with me.
I’ve liked aircraft for a long time, but I think it was that trip to Pearl Harbor that really sealed it for me. I even got a. Little toy b-17 on that trip that I still have. After that, I just loved planes. I went to the Pima Air and Space Museum (like, 30 minutes from where I live) a few years later, and loved what I saw. I started drawing them in better detail that just vaguely plane shaped things. And I bought a whole collection of toy planes and helicopters. I met a man who was an officer at an airbase during the Vietnam war in Alaska, and his dad flew anti-submarine missions in a Martin PBM Mariner in ww2, so I mean, that was pretty cool. By now my love of planes was peaked. I got to fly a Cessna 172, and even sat in the radio operators seat of B-17 Sentimental Journey in flight.
Now I’m heading to the navy as an Aircraft Administrationman
Yeah, I never really thought in that! Only issue I see with it is that any tires not powered to Move together make the tire squealing noise. I can work with it, but it’s annoying @WarshipDude
Sweet! It’s always the ones that take a while that seem most worth it. That’s why I love my Atocha build. My biggest build ever and it was all worth it to see how much others enjoyed it. @WarshipDude
Yeah, I get that. Another great choice. @ImaCat
Wonderful choices. The p-47 was always super cool to me @Subnerdica
I fully agree. I think those two are just my absolute favorite, but I love lots of planes. I fully agree with all of your choices though @goboygo1
Lovely. Seaplanes are my absolute favorite @MrSilverWolf
+1I mean if it ain’t broke @switdog08
Thanks! I’ll check it out! @Kreep2knight
Yeah, that’s always a fun plane. Such a strange concept @RogueFighter
I always love that one too @Sovietstrike333
+1All wonderful aircraft. I like it @CodenameMorgan
A classic. Lovely @Simpleplaner1945
I see what you mean on both parts. Catalina is just so cool @RailfanEthan
Lovely plane that is. Great choice @Aeromotive
+1Yeah, all great choices @Mastermind1941
I’ve always wanted to know the name of that one! Seaplanes are like, my favorite type of plane @Sovetzkysoyusz
Love that. Probably my favorite super early jet design @belugasub
+1I mean, the p-40 was pretty rad. If I had to expand my list, that would probably also be on there @WarHawk95
Always a great choice @Strikefighter04
Yeah, ok, so 90mm makes more sense. Thanks! @Kreep2knight
That’s what I was thinking of somewhat for the bigger gun idea. I also recall a Sherman with a 105mm from somewhere. Either way, thanks! @Diver
Yeah, that’s a good idea. It would be unique enough to make it a fun build. Thanks! @WarshipDude
That’s a fun idea. Never really considered it. I’ll probably end up doing that. The classic 75mm was my first choice. Thanks! @Mastermind1941
Thanks! @NoTimeForLaughing
I’m excited to see it! Tag me when it’s done?
No problem. Let me know if you need any further help @Panizon

Thank you! @EternalDarkness
Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it! @F104Deathtrap
+1Thank you! @PointlessWhyShouldi
Thank you! @Stormfur
Thanks @SuperRoto
Thank you so much! @ACEPILOT109
Nice! Yeah, seeing something like that up close just tends to leave a real impact @Aeromotive

+1Yeah, I’ve thought over that too. I figure I’ll try a couple methods and see which one I like best. Thanks so much! @IssaIwan
Yeah, I’ll do that. It’s seems like a good skill to have @F104Deathtrap
Yeah, thanks again! @WarshipDude
Actually, never mind. I tried it and it worked wonderfully! Thanks so much for the help! @WarshipDude
If I knew how, I feel that would be the best option. @F104Deathtrap
Yeah, I never really thought in that! Only issue I see with it is that any tires not powered to Move together make the tire squealing noise. I can work with it, but it’s annoying @WarshipDude
Ok, thanks. Mine was behaving similarly @QuantausAviation
Yes, boat is good. Lovely builds btw! @Euvand
+1Yeah! It’s a lovely craft! I see why you like it so much! @KnightOfRen
Yeah, I think I saw that one. Glad it was a worthwhile project! @CobraHueyIndustries
Yeah! And congrats on being featured! @Defalt1
Sweet! It’s always the ones that take a while that seem most worth it. That’s why I love my Atocha build. My biggest build ever and it was all worth it to see how much others enjoyed it. @WarshipDude
I’m glad! @PrinceZuko
Sweet, I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for the comment! @PrinceZuko
Thanks so much! @theeunknown
Thanks! @50CalChicken
Love the design. Lots of fun to fly, though it is a bit slow to lift. Nice work!
