Seeking to avoid the aerodynamic drag induced by floats in seaplanes of floatplane design, Ing Giovanni Pegna of the Piaggio company designed a very unusual seaplane to represent Italy in the 1929 Schneider Trophy race. A cantilever shoulder-wing monoplane, known both as the Piaggio P.7 and the Piaggio-Pegna P.c.7, his design floated up to its wings on its long, slender, watertight fuselage with the wings resting on the water, and employed twin high-incidence hydrofoils to get itself off the water during takeoff runs. (From wikipedia)
Although some pilots refused to fly the aircraft, the Italian Schneider team's Tommaso Dal Molin conducted some water tests on Lake Garda in northern Italy. The spray the hydroplanes generated made it difficult to see during takeoff, and persistent problems with both clutches ensued. The aircraft never became airborne. (From wikipedia)

I don't leave comments without respect, I up vote because I share comments sometimes to so it's not rude to barge in and but not give some credit.. still yet . Probably an amazing build

But you can do everything without mods . Even Over powered crafts no tinkering or modding.. 1386 parts guarantees no mobile player can ever try this as well.
I was super impressed with this craft. Worked like a charm on my phone despite the part count. Fun to take off and land too.
