I read some of this Thread, especially spyder79, and his issues.

Maden flight. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it take place with gear attached and off land?

This model does have a place to bolt gear.

I have 377 hours of flying time in this aircraft and about 2 hours total time with a Sikorsky S-39 built with a Cub wing. Don't miss the seaplane, and I'm recovering the S-39.
