Gene you have a great water plane already . The Swoose is a great looking and can be a pretty nice flying plane on floats. I hope yours is still in your possesion . The little beaver converts from wheels to floats fairly quickly . Maybe 10 min's although repeated changes will work the little plastic anchor points loose so that is something you need to be carefull of . Don't over tighten the screws .I actually really like the little plane and would buy another if I lost this one . I won a new one at a club raffel so I sold my used one to my buddy who had crashed his and damaged it beyond repair. It was a great flying little chunk of foam .We both swaped out the Rx that came with the plane for a spektrum 6 chan Rx and use DX8 transmitters .
