Hey, Nony, that's cheating! I have the same problem picking a fav... for this month...
Stranraer: saw the last flight of the last one.
Mars: being a coastal type, I have followed that aircraft since they were parked at Pat Bay being refitted into waterbombers, one flew over here a few times last summer during the Okanagan cookup.
Cant Z1: the perfect scale seaplane, high engine, good fuse, big wing, great colour schemes.

However, I won't say anything about the Sunderland, or the Mallard, or the Princess, or the Lake, or the... oh dear, I 'm starting to sound like Nony!

Carefull what you promise there. Davey.......we know what happens when campfires and rum and Shuswap happen at the same time

With luck, I should have a new floatplane for June, if I can find some 44" floats.......

....Now, back to the program in progress.......

I would have to say that my favorite float planes are...
1) deHavilland Beaver... one of the first planes I rode in at 5 months old, ( on floats ) and the first one I flew, ..at 6 yrs old when the pilot flopped the wheel over in front of me. I was so excited that I grabbed the wheel and immediatly put it into a dive. The pilot just reached over, pushed the wheel back and let me do it again!
2) Spruce Goose, amazing!
3) Seawind, Canadian homebuilt ( sold to US eventually) that had a really cool futeristic look.
Thoses are the ones that come to mind for now!
