Curtiss JTN Bomber 2nd Prototype

I'm uploading this plane for the second time after some rebuilding but sadly even with the rebuilt model it simply won't take off from the water but it doesn't flip over itself anymore so at least that was fixed. It does fly pretty nice and I'm pretty sure it'll take off on the two wheels it has but I haven't tried on this exact version so something might've broke since I flew it off a strip instead of the approach and water spawn. I would like if someone could make it fly without the top vertical stabilizer as the original design doesn't have one on top but for it to fly straight I had to put it there. There are two large jet engines along with twelve 3rd tier props(Forgetting the name right now) for its power source. Back to the water point it'll get up to around 160mph and start kinda shaking but it usually fizzles its speed out by doing that before it can get off. Enough of my rambling now. If anyone can fix it I'll greatly appreciate it! Good luck!!

After post note: I added another large jet and it got close but flipped itself out before it could take off so maybe something there

    @BurkeEnterprise Been awhile since I've asked you for help but I've got another plane that is having issues. It flies alright but I can't get it off the water and I would like it to fly without the top vertical stabilizer if at all possible. It's a bit of a bizarre plane but I hope you'll be able to find what's wrong.
