Dornier Seastar Water Take off problem

Most odd. I had no problem taking off yesterday (screenshots here), both from a cold-n-dark start and a second in-flight take-off after landing for Kristiansand. If my memory is right, I’d set the passenger load to 100% & left the fuel at 50% in the EFB prior to the initial take-off. I’ll do some more testing…

Edit:
OK, here’s video of a takeoff.

Winds at the takeoff site ( 5 knots):

Which results in this takeoff.

Granted, it was not the most graceful takeoff, but I am in a bit of a rush to post this as my two :guide_dog: :service_dog: are asking to be fed. and need to go… well, you know :slightly_smiling_face:
