My second seaplane experiment! This one is smaller, eqipped with trim tabs, cameras and two radial engines. I went for a mini PBY Catalina look for this one, and it turned out a little better than I thought! It takes off and lands well on land, but I could use some help with the actual "sea" part of a "seaplane" so I could use some input or some help modifiying it ^-^ Takeoff speed is about 180mph and it's max speed is somewhere a little over 300. This is a scout plane, btw :D Enjoy!

@ThunderstormAviation
Lol thanks XD But yeah I'm a river otter :P I figured I'd save that name for a river plane. Alas, I'm far from that, but I'm working on it =3
Otter, OTTER... Your username is Otter(of toast)... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHTAHAHAHAHAHAHA I GET IT! GOOD ONE @OtterOfToast
@SkyborneFox Fantastic! I'll see what we can merge and tweak when I can.
@OtterOfToast it is done and uploaded!
@OtterOfToast
I've just about got it done! However, the current engines do have adequate horsepower for a water takeoff. I'm not sure if I will be able to fix this, so that will be what decides which version I have to upload. I'll do what I can, though, so expect the final product in about 30 minutes.
@SkyborneFox Fantastic, thank you!
@OtterOfToast
I've got something in the works, just have a little more tweaking to do. Will be uploading soon.
Okay, I might@OtterOfToast
