It's certainly 'interesting' in an ugly kind of way...

my first quip of 2011

If I were the pilot, I would be frightened by the narrow undercarriage with the huge torque of a double-engine... $:-\$

It has contra rotating props, so the torque should be near absent.

Really fast looking

I'd love to see a few more photos of it. Is this the MC 72 floatplane with landing gear? And what kit?
( What I can see of it looks great, by the way. )

EDIT:

Just saw the link at the bottom of your first post, which answers most of my questions-
sorry!
