...well, small water planes can work great. In terms of water handling and such things, this little thing is very capable...
...but I know that I'm bias.
Would people be interested if I made a plans version of it to fly on a radial mounted .049 or maybe a norvel .06?
I could provide an extra sheet that is just the fin area for the motor mount etc. While there may be a need to have a little ballast in the nose, methinks that a Norvel version would be quite cool.
