Oh Which one to choose

       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Trying to figure out my next model on floats....Just finishing up on a little turbo beav and wanted some input on my new choices...
Ok here they are in no particular order
-Otter
-Radial Beaver
-Norseman
-Twin Otter
-Cessna 185

All are good aircraft, and thats what makes it hard to choose. I know I will build all of tham at some point but wich one to start first??????

AAAhhh nony we are on the same page..... I was realy considering the Found bros FBA-2 in your top photo... But I think I want to build something from plans or a kit this time ( I know there won't be plans for it out there) ... Last 2 aircraft have been from my own plans and I need to take a break (per say).....Scaleguys 185 might be it.. I just wish there was a kit of it in the 1/6 scale size... I know Martin at MrAerodisgn has a nice plan for one....

Jim,

I didn't know Burt Rutan had designed a floatplane!

Seriously though any idea what it's called? Obviously a one of homebuilt.
