RE: Can't get off the water with Float Plane
Jim, that sure wouldn't hurt to try
Could be the long nose of that plane throwing me off, hard to tell with it sitting in the spa
A side view out of the water would help
It does look like he has a little wedge effect going on there
You always want Zero to a little positive wing to float incidence, ya never want negative or the float will lift the plane instead of the wing. That can make for a wild ride
Something else to consider is he has a semi symmetrical wing on that plane, it's going to take a lot more rotation angle and or speed to get that bird to lift,,
I'm thinking it's a rotation issue
