This plane is made as a simple mod to the simple soarer, that is supposed to be towed up from the water, even though it has a motor. (power pack a) that is because to reduce drag, the body was made relatively low, so the 6 inch propeller touches the water. for landing on water you have got to be careful. I have float tested a similar prototype, and it floats just fine. If you think that I can improve it in any way, please explain that here: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/foamydm-seaplane-challenge-bat-gl8der.67839/
I flew it on 2s, where a 6 inch propeller is optimal, a 3s, where a 5 inch is, and by my tests, on 4s, it can taxi on water with the 4.5 or 4 inch propeller. for 2s, something like a 800 would need two extra AA in the front, and with a 3s 1300 it balances just fine.
