RE: help id this plane
Difficult with a small picture and such a poor angle with the wing in the wrong place like that. It is not a combat airplane (since you posted in the combat forum) Some sort of genaric trainer with tail shapes similar to Jr Falcon. Are the floats plastic if so they appear to be Gee Bees which are not all that desirable. What is the engine? It could be an MDS with that black head which are excellent sea anchors.

Ken I would not worry about it to much, that happens a lot sometimes with new posters. On that airplane my gut instinct tells me it an MDS engine and Gee Bee floats which is why it is cheap but even at that price whatever it is may be to much, definately not worth the cost of shipping an assembled airplane around the country.
If you are new and need a trainer you are better off starting on wheels not floats. That can come later.

That looks like the Sea Hawk from the GEE BEE line. This was my first airplane but it never recieved much flight time. It landed on the ground hard several times and then I added 6 inches on to each wing tip and then I could fly it well. It would be a great second airplane or at least get some help flying it if it is your first. I added wheels to fly off grass. I never did use the floats except to fly off snow.
