Barrrick - quitting - that's a shame ! You're the first I've heard of in 25 years of float flying who has quit. What's the big hassle ?

Is it lugging around a model with those extra appendages hanging down below ? Or some problems at the pond / lake / water site ?

Yes, it IS a bit different from wheely flying - and that difference is what seems to attract - the bow waves off the floats when taxiing, the takeoffs into winds of any direction, the low flyby's with water streaming off the floats, the kiss sound of the floats as they touch down on the surface ............... where's the hassle ? Oh yes, the deadsticks, the nose-ins, the holed floats (those danged alligators again !), the water turns in cross winds, the flip-overs .......... but don't you ever have any problems with wheelies too ?

Come on, keep at it - maybe you need to start again with something non-scale and not too big so you can have FUN !
