Gee, I don't know Eddie. It kinda looked like one of those south seas pirate craft. German WWII wave-mirror scheme with a black skull an' cross bones on the tail.  :wub:

I still think you should have lost the main engine on that thing, you obviously have a surplus of horsepower already at your disposal so losing the main engine would have been a good way to open up the front of the fuselage for an improved seating plan.  But I digress, the little Cessna looks quite impressive with five engines.  What you really need on each of the smaller engine cowlings is a small chainsaw brand name that says "Powered by _____" ( Stihl, McCulloch, Husquavarna, or Poulan).

That is a very good idea and the plus side of this is there are a few more on the clearance bench at Hobby Lobby. ;D

Don't forget the gas caps on the floats.  you can store allot of gas in one and still float.   ;D

Excellent idea! Swanny was ribbing about needing to tow a fuel glider to feed this beast. ;D
