Thank You Jim. Believe me, I never get upset when people are trying to help me! All input is greatly appreciated.

I can remember easing the throttle forward and as speed picked up the floats came up on plane. It was really moving across the water. Someone actually yelled out "Nice Boat!"

I pulled back on the elevator and it had no effect at all on the attitude of the plane. It just kept skimming across the water at a high rate of speed.

Next run I deployed the flaperons and it took right off. I think it may need some CG adjustment.I'm going to check it again.

Thanks again
Bob
