Default Profile P-38 on FLOATS- HELP

To all you float experts,,HELP!! This is the link to pictures and story down in the twins forum. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4479951/tm.htm "GP P-38 on Floats"
We are not to post twice on RCU and I am into twins, but need help down in the twins forum. Built or converted a GP P-38 to floats per concept of Lockheed in WWII.. The old saying goes..I cannot get up!!!
What am I doing wrong?
The floats are foam and flat bottom with a one inch step. Per the good advice from this forum, I put the CG on the Step and have 2 degrees positive incidence. The engines are OS FX .25's'
Seems to reach speed and come up, but will not lift off??
Thanks in advance,

Twinman
