well i have two flyable "floating planes" that i fly and one coming along. the two are my trainer (easy 2) on floats and an ace seamaster. the guys that i fly with say not to get the lanier sea bird or as they call it the "sea turd" because its heavy due to all of the plastic. if you want a flying boat i would truly recommend the ace seamaster. every guy that flys down the road in our flying pond has one. it flies just like my trainer.
