Auto Credit Based on Csisguy's Water plane challenge entry
A couple of small changes for ease of handling, without wanting to alter the character of the plane. What I did:
_____
* Changed the structural panels attaching the front nacelles to the main hull into wings
* Moved pitch control surfaces to new wings at the front
* Reduced the range of motion of the rotators to 15° - that's the most useful range for them, so now you have fine control in that region. Useful for trimming in the air (just a tiny fraction above neutral will do it), and water landing/takeoffs (about halfway up)
* Made the main wings a bit thicker, for extra lift, and swept them back to counter the CoL's move forward after the addition of the new wings at the front

Thanks. It's good to know there's a pro plane builder giving me tips on how to build planes. Thank you
