Also curious if this would improve thermal ability in the rain?

Looks like a real floater Amber.

I guess size and weight will show in how close to the normal water-line it floats IMHO!

In my opinion, if you can turn the motor off and glide with thermal possibility then it is still a sailplane with amphibian options. If it comes down like a ton of bricks then it is an ordinary float plane.

I would think you could combine the two and call it a "Flail" plane.

Oh, & the glider is made up of parts from various crashes! Great Planes Spirit tail feathers, CG Sophisticated Lady fusalage & Airtronics Eclipse wing, all 2 meter stuff with a brushless motor thrown in!

And thanks to Amber (my daughter, who is the owner of this glider) for taking the pictures!
