Do I have a problem?
This is my first float plane and I was just able to get it in the water for the first time today. I have flown it from land and got it all in flight trim and worked out any bugs I had.
I wanted to check it for leaks and see how well it floated. As you can see, it lists to the right quite a bit yet the lateral trim/balance is pretty good. Is this something strange and if the engine was running and I was to try a take off would it just come up level on step? Its too cold to be going to the lake with the maiden so it will probably be spring at least before I try a water maiden. I do have some time to make any changes needed.
No leaking but the stance is really bothering me.
