I have heard that amphibian's nose dive now and then, why ?
The picture of the sea era taking off it was the opposite and had its back end buried in the water and looked to be absolutely struggling to get on top of the water, why?
What is the problems ,is the under body shape wrong ??
doesn't have enough planning area ??
why is it so difficult and really hard work for a small plane to get on top of the water plane smoothly then simply take off ??
yes I know all about skin friction on water and used to water ski in my younger days!! but that's not a problem till speed gets above 35 or 40 mph !!, even at 60mph water I pretty slipper and my small power boat wanted to get airborne !!
So what's the problem ????
