Default Anyone flown the Beast?

Has anyone flown the Beast by RnZ Models? It's a flying wing, very ugly, RC Seaplane with a center float. It looks like my kind of plane, but I'd like to hear some other ideas on it.

Here's their URL: http://users.cwnet.com/zdgreg/Mainpage.html

They also make float kits.

I've seen them fly. Very fast, very aerobatic, snag a tip float = instant water loop. And they are ugly!

While I don't have one, I too have see two of them at local float flys, and they DO look like fun!

I was thinking of a winter project and I do love weird and ugly planes.

A buddy and I were wondering if the tip floats were too low.

My winter projects are beginning to stack up since I discovered float flying. My flying partner has agreed to build the "sort of" scale Schneider Cup Macchi MC72 using 4*40 wing as a basis. I wanted a wing that would do some acro and not a thin, racing airfoil so I bought the 4* wing kit for him.

He also wants to do a Wild Catfish and I am getting floats for an old Kaos. I plan to move the fin to the bottom on that one. I am also considering floats for a 1.08 powered Joss Stick and a .61 powered Kangke SK/50. Come spring, we're looking for some float flys in the southeast.
