Default RE: Good beginner seaplane

Don't worry about getting help and all, I have a few fields and clubs around me with trainers. I just wanted to let you all know I have a strong experience with glow engines.

Should I get used to the concepts and techniques before going out on the water? Is there a noticable difference in taking off and landing in water? Like I said before, I put most of my money into cars and trucks so I don't want to screw up the plane.

My LHS (there are 10 by me) never even heard of Falcon and when I went on Falcon's website, there are no dealers in Canada. I will go into the biggest one of all of them and see if they can order it in because it would be cheaper and faster if they did it.

Would the O.S FS-91 Surpass II be a good engine for this model? I don't want to spend a lot on the engine and in the car world, there are better engines then O.S so I want to make shure I'll be getting a good deal. What price wouuld this be around?

And for the radio, would the Futaba 6XAPS be a good system for me? I have no clue what to look for when it comes to planes. Also, what price would this be around?

Well thats about all the questions I have now. Thanks guys
