I don't have either voice, but I sure like the idea of those planes on floats. I don't plan to have any other planes on floats after the U-Can and Piper Cub. It is easy to take to the lake as it is not large.
If I lived closer to a good lake I would have more.

There is something in this hobby for everyone isn't there?

Kinda off topic, sorry guys. Not all ARFs are junk. Talk around. I have a Dave Patrick Ultimate bipe ARF that is exceptional. The Horizon Hobby Twist is another good plane I like, and fly one regulary for 3D. When they found it was popular, they jumped the price from 99 USD to 120 USD. Now they can stick it. The Horizon Hobby Ultra Sticks are well built and a pleasure to fly and land in the 'crow' mode.
ParkZone has the Stryker plug and fly that I have seen fly. It is a screamer and the guys love it. Parkzone also sells it just the basic unit without the transmitter. Primarily 3D flyers that I know are happy with the profile model kits supplied by Morris Hobbies and also the OMP ARF offerings.
World Models has the Intruder ARF which I bought and fly. Sorta pattern.
I have a couple of professionally built pattern planes that I bought used when I competed in pattern, but I think I am about finished building. I have too many planes.

Have a nice day.
