I would like to get a seaplane to fly off the water next year. If I can, I'd also prefer to use this plane to fly off the snow this winter instead of having to buy a skis set for my actual trainer. At first I wanted to get a Cessna or Cub on float but from the reading I've done here it seem like too much of a step now. So, what would you think if I get a Neptune seaplane instead ? I have only read positive comments about the plane but is it a big step from a trainer ( I am confortable with the trainer ) or can I expect to fly it this winter off the snow and next summer off the water ? I will install an OS .46AX on it. Any comments are welcome.
