    Ok, I've got a couple of things to get this thing flying:
    -The tail of the aircraft must be able to sink a bit, or you will not be able to create enough pitch to take off. Remove some buoyancy from tail. There is such a thing as too much buoyancy.
    -Center of mass (red ball) must be forward of center of lift (blue ball). Remove all dead weight from the tail and shift fuel forward.
    -Increase the size of horizontal stabilizer and elevator so they are more effective. It wouldn't hurt to lengthen the tail.
    -Lastly, increase the prop blades to 6 and maximize their thickness so the aircraft has enough power to break free of the water.
