Default retractable float??

Back in the 70's when I was growing up I subscribed to an r/c mag called RC Sportsman. It came out in newspaper form, and every issue came with a set of full sized plans for the project of the month. I remember one issue had plans for a low wing monoplane that had a single retractable float underneath,and the tip floats flipped up to become the wingtips. I thought that was so cool, and still do. Does anyone remember this mystery floatplane, and where might I possibly find these plans? Has anyone ever experimented with this configuration? We have floatflys in the club about once a month in the summer and fall, and something like this would be really fun to pull out. Let me know what you all think, OK? Thanks.... :spinnyeye
