Attached below is a picture of my StickLikeThing (SLT for short) floatplane.

The plane began life 15 years ago as a highly modified Midwest 20 size 'Stick' kit. I began by clipping the wing and adding different tip and aileron shapes. It is also flat with no dihedral.
The original fuse was a scratch built fuse with a standard configuration tail. I built the floats in the picture to match the plane.

Forward 13 years later (2 years ago), all the water and crashes through the years (it sees most of its duty on wheels and a grass runway), and the tail and landing gear mounts were starting to get ragged. I built the new red t-tailed fuse for it to eliminate the water logging problem in the tail. I also increased the rudder area, and the elevator area. The new plane was much lighter than the original.

It flies on standard size radio gear, an OS .28 engine, and really rips. With the floats on it, it will climb vertically, does prop hangs and is extremly aerobatic (spins are fun to watch too).

The floats have been rebuilt and recovered twice. It readly pops up on the floats with any application of power.

Now the bad news..... On my recent trip to the lake, I scattered the floats across the lake when I tried a prop hang too close to the water surface. The airplane was unhurt.....

I am currently cad'ing out the floats so I can build a new set before our club's potential upcoming float fly.

I hope ya'll like it...
