Newc,

It's interesting that you posted those photos and the comment about your larger floats being about the size of a 40-60 fuse. I've been wanting to build a flying boat of my own design and have been thinking about the proper dimensions for the step and angles of the bow. I'm wondering how it would work if I built a 40 sized fuse, shaping the bottom like the bottom of a float. I think I need to put the CG at the same location that the CG would be on the set of floats. I'd also have to work out a rudder. I'm thinking I'd copy the wing from my SuperStar 40 wing, keeping the same chord so that the CG is the same location on the wing. For the first one, I think I'd copy the tail feathers and fuse length as well. Thoughts (anyone)?
