My Entry to the Construction Challenge.
The original fuselage and cockpit part are located in the engine housing. I build the engine and wings around it.
This is a tricky plane. When taking off from land, you can gun it and take off normally. When taking off from water, raise you gear, and increase throttle to 50%, then raise it gradually to 70 as you accelerate. Once you lift off you can throttle to full.
She'll nose down until around 180mph, then she should have a slight nose-up characteristic. Stall speed is around 90mph.
HAPPY FLYING!

@Cedy117 No problem. Any time :D
Ok I got it now it works! Lol thank you m8 I'll just finish up details and cosmetic works on it and it should be good to go! @A5mod3us
I got an error 404 when using the link @A5mod3us
@Cedy117 Okay, here it is: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4zl119/CANT-Z501
.
The nose bit is a little sloppy, you could probably clean that up a little, but the screenshots are off the changes I made.
.
Shot 1, changed the angle of the main engine to 10 degrees, and made the prop 4 blade for extra thrust. The engine is also boosted in power from 4000 to 10,000 in the XML file, which altogether gives it a top speed of around 245mph, and a cruising speed at 70% throttle of around 210mph.
.
Shot 2, added wings to the bottom hull to simulate the Step effect using the games very simple hydrodynamics.
.
Shot 3, gave the horizontal stab a 1 degree adjustment for a little extra static lift.
Oh, yeah! I also added weight to the nose to compensate for the extra lift from the step wings.
Let me know what you think.
@Cedy117 Oh! Awesome! i recently had an idea for this problem. Let me see what I can do :D
It can't lift up out of the water I'm guessing it's due to the very high prop placement so I just need help getting it to take off from the water @A5mod3us
Thanks. I'm at work atm but I'll havea look when I get home. What problem(s) are you having with it? @Cedy117
@A5mod3us here it is sorry for not getting back to you right away.
@Cedy117 sure. I can give it a look at least.
Can you help me with a sea plane I'm working on I can't get it to lift of at all it's a Cant z501 I can send you a link if your willing to help because your very good at seaplanes
Ddaaaannngggg. I like the prop placement
Cool. I like it.
