OK............lets get this forum started with the usual question.
What do you currently fly off water and what have you got on the building board for next spring.
Im flying a BUSA large Taube with home made sea sled floats,and building a flying hull 80" with an OS .90 four stroke........

A FlOtter? That's right.... that's what you call an Otter on Floats.

Now a Twin Otter is a TwOtter so a Twin Otter on Floats must be..........

wait for it.........

A FlOtter TwOtter!

Seriously I have been building a 6' Otter for several years now and hopefully I will have it finished soon.

Hey Scale Guy, would that be the Unionville Otter? If so I also have one on the go, I have a pic. posted in the fixed wing-canadian planes section on pg 3.
I want to put floats on it eventually, and am looking around for a scale-ish set, or may just build my own.
These planes just don't look right on wheels!

Nothing yet, but I would like to build a set of coro floats for my lt-40. Would a gms .47 be enough power?

skypupnut · 01-15-2004, 07:08 PM
