That looks VERY smart.

For sure this is the winner of Schneider trophy 1940...

(for the country Yellowland, first victory)

thanks again !

Dear ericr,
As you are our what-if seaplane expert, what do you think of single-float seaplanes without external little stabilizing floats? It seems that "exists" even in the Real world:

But the model would not stand on the shelf and an amphibious way might be better visually:

Hi Tophe, thanks for the picture, they are inspiring indeed, could be done in plastic with just one float, and some wingsurface ...

ericr · March 15, 2020, 02:33:20 AM

hardly a whif, because there seems to have been plans for this, but still ...

floats are from a Seafox

That is beautifully awkward-looking.

ericr · March 17, 2020, 12:31:51 AM

thanks !

Nice! Pod-and-boom seaplanes are very rare (if ever built, scale 1)!

I am going to transform it into a true whif twin-boomer, trying at least...

Tophe · March 21, 2020, 11:26:10 AM

Fully whif now:

ericr · March 21, 2020, 01:15:07 PM

Tophe you are a true magician

Tophe · March 23, 2020, 09:26:25 AM

Thanks!
But my opinion is you are the very best, as creator!
