@Lotusrocks Floats forward helps with the rolling tail over nose, but you need to lower the center of mass or it will just roll upside down. The heaviest part of the boat wants to be underwater.
I’ve been editing this for the past hour and it won’t work! 😭 please help
I’ll try to fix the weight @ASDFASDF1
I’ll move the floats forwards. I’ll reupload when I’m done @atgxtg
@Lotusrocks Like ADSFASDF1 said, it's the weight. Most of the plane's weight is on top, and slightly forward of center, so the plane wants to flip tail over nose.
What you need to do is shift the center of mass lower so that it wants to stay right side up, and either further back (which will probably require moving the wings back) or bring the floats forward to counteract the tendency to pitch forward.
I posted one way to deal with it (under successor aircraft), but there are lots of other ways to accomplish the same thing.
It wont land on the water. It keeps flipping around whenever I try to make it to land @ASDFASDF1
