Thank you @MakeshiftPlanes - this particular one took my evenings for about four days from start to finish. I do a fair bit of research for the description and fixing any performance issues typically takes a couple of hours. The BEA tail art was a pain but worth it!
Having done a few seaplanes myself I understand the frustrations trying to achieve take off from water. Lovely looking example of what was intended as a Schneider Trophy entry if I’m mistaken?
Sorry @ForeverPie what I mean is when you upload you get your screenshot in the main picture and then you get what you've uploaded in the next plan view style box next to specs and it always highlights inaccuracies that you've overlooked!
@SgtK @QingyuZhou @ForeverPie and @Kimwonbae12 thanks guys! Any improvements let me know! The plan view you get once uploaded makes my skin crawl sometimes!....
Continuing from description - Controls: VTOL down flaps, number 8 for lights. I've tried to replicate the auto land feature and it's as follows. Throttle about 8%, flaps at the first marker down, full pitch trim down. As she gets down near the wicket gently increase flaps to increase the flare for wheels down. These are ball park figures and may need adjusting depending on approach. Apologies about the unrealistic landing gear, the actual trident had an offset nose wheel and the main gear had quite a unique system of stowage I am not able to replicate. Throttle fully back for "reverse thrust buckets" which you and I both know are speed breaks!
Not seen this on sp before so well done you, also top job on it, it looks amazing!
De nada @Empanadinho
Muy bien!
Beautiful build!

Very good, couldn’t take of from water but maybe that’s my lack of finesse!

Super job!
Not a criticism @BarrettTheFerret and please notice we both upvoted this for the build not the description!
Weren't many monoplanes I think is what you meant!
Nice upgrade! Out of spotlights today I will spotlight tomorrow. Look forward to more of these builds!
Splendid show old bean, bz's all round!
I think @EternalDarkness said it all!
Awesome, love the tail art!
No worries buddy, great job! @Milo1628xa
