Since you need a little more power to break the water I'm surprised at the lack of designs for .09 power.

It makes sense to me that you could fly a half-a size model with a mild .09 glo or diesel with a muffler so you could fly quietly in some locations instead of a screaming .049 on open exhaust.

I have a fairly large retention pond in my neighborhood and could slip in there and fly a float plane if it were slow enough and more importantly, quiet enough.

A "Lazy Bee" on floats would probably be a good choice but I'd love to see some more options for my .09's.
