Tips for a flying boat

1,886 StraitAircraft  3 months ago

I usually build little known aircraft that no one on this site has bothered to build.
As such, I usually have no reference to base of my aircraft. Can anyone teach me how to build a flying boat, or just have tips for building one?
Cheers

    anyway, have a high angle of attack(e.g. make the nose of the plane point more.. up), point the engine to the sky a bit by like, 5°? also have enough lift and speed, if you want an example, check my Loire 130, good example that one

    @dbqp the thrust is higher up on the plane, as such, the plane usually just tilts forward.
    I can't get it to float and still take off??
