Sparkee:
I really like the look of yours, and I like the addition above the cockpit, ours was just all painted the same color to try and blend together

That's where we got the wheel pants from....I will email and ask as to the specific ones, but we just matched the dimensions as best we could.
my comment about landing was just that it took us a few passes to get the speed right because the plane floats really well in ground effect, and doesn't really want to come down, but that's just my opinion because i usually like to fly much higher wingloading planes....
future plans are that I'm still working on this years ('03) christmas present for my father which are some scratch built floats for the Old timer....
I will post again when I find the wheel pants information.
