Thanks for all the info guys!! All of it is well worth a little bickering and changing subjects!! Just kidding!!

This spring, providing school and work is going well, I'm going to remove some monokote from my hull and add some spray rails and do a second look at my V bottom hull design.

Someone made mention of a V bottom actually keeping the airplane on the water moreso than a flat bottom?? No, I don't think so. We, Dave and I did a V bottom mod at the lake in roughly 30 minutes to possibly change some of the characteristics of my plane. The V bottom from the Flat bottom actually helped, some, but not quite enough to make me completely happy.Look at Dave Thacker's web site www.radicalrc.com and if I recall correctly, there is a header there for floats. If so, check that out. I have flown land planes with V bottom floats on them, and had HUGE success. Have flown his own design, based off the Laker, but HE did alot of mod'ing to it, including a twin step V bottom hull. Really cool design. Flown off the water, without the tendancies that I described as my plane had. I was stumped heavily until I started to surf this forum.

Thanks again guys!!!
