The ‘jumps’ seemed okay but on the first real take off it looked really nose heavy and I thought it was going to do a front flip :lol:

Imagine waking up one day and saying I'm going to make a 1/20 scale model of the Spruce Goose today! 8-)

I think he opened the throttles too quickly, all the drag is at the bottom & all the thrust at the top, in the later take-offs he opens the throttles far more gradually as the wing lifts the hull out of the water & the drag reduces.

It is pretty cool though
