Mail me the original Aircraft.cfg & I'll have a peek at it.

I obviously can't try it without purchasing the aircraft.

Sent. Thanks Hagar!
Also thank you Dave for the heads up on the chopper in the first place

It floats.....thanks to Hagar...and a little contact points tweaking by me (Hagar did not have the model to test on) and voila........ship shape, like it should have been in the first place

Here is what your contact points section in the Aircraft Cfg. file should look like to make tha MH-47 float:
EDIT
These are fixed, I accidently posted the original coordinates before. These will work

[contact_points]
static_pitch = 1.5
static_cg_height = 6.7
tailwheel_lock = 0
gear_system_type = 1
max_number_of_points = 13

point.0 = 1, -16, 0, -6, 4500, 0, 0.95, 30, 0.38, 1.8, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 300
point.1 = 1, 11, 4.65, -6.7, 3500, 2, 0.75, 0, 0.38, 1.26, 0.5, 0, 0, 3, 0, 300
point.2 = 1, 11, -4.65, -6.7, 3500, 1, 0.75, 0, 0.38, 1.26, 0.5, 0, 0, 2, 0, 300
point.3 = 3, -16, 5.3, -6, 4500, 2, 0.95, 0, 0.38, 1.8, 0.5, 0, 0, 3, 0, 300
point.4 = 3, -16, -5.3, -6, 4500, 1, 0.95, 0, 0.38, 1.8, 0.5, 0, 0, 2, 0, 300
point.5 = 2, 0, 25.5, 12, 4500, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0
point.6 = 2, 0, -25.5, 12, 4500, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0
point.7 = 2, 26.0722, 0, -0.9365, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 4, 0, 0
point.8 = 2, -26.013, 0, 2.7463, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9, 0, 0

; FLOATS
point.9= 4, 11, 6.65, -7.7, 2500, 0, 0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.70, 0, 0, 5, 0.000, 0.000
point.10= 4, 11, -6.65, -7.7, 2500, 0, 0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.70, 0, 0, 5, 0.000, 0.000
point.11= 4, -16, 7.3, -7, 2500, 0, 0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.70, 0, 0, 5, 0.000, 0.000
point.12= 4, -16, -7.3, -7, 2500, 0, 0, 0.50, 2.5, 0.70, 0, 0, 5, 0.000, 0.000

Sorry about that.......I have uploaded a mod here at SimV that is just a drop in replacement Cfg file.....awaiting approval

With a little fiddlin' of the coordinates, this could be applied to any aircraft
