Hard enough to design a normal plane to fly off the water! Think ill keep it simple! 😄

That library is so big that you will get lost falling in love with every single plane in the dense archives that he has1st prize is unlimited access to @leaded50's entire library of over 14,600 strange experimental and conceptual plane pics and diagrams.
The lake buccaneer? K
So what you're saying is.... There are options!
I can't love it, but I do. thank you @leaded50 . What's the short foamy with the platform there?

This? Spitfire. "The Narvik Nightmare" . (Narvik is a small town up north in Norway,) Spitfire got its ROC floats version, because of a planned tour to Norway to stop Germans....

finished my plans basically. if my mom is willing to buy me a micro drone, like one of those that is cheaper than the ez pack and provides more thrust than it, and make a hang glider base for it and attach it with velcro, so that I can remove it, and use it as just a drone. if done correctly, this should be the first plane that can fit in your pocket and be built for less than 30 dollars. should be pool or bathtub capable. just for fun, if you want an rc boat, but are having fun in the pool, bring this aling, and you get an rc boat, adn still be able to fly around.

I kinda want to join, I'm just not too sure about the flying off water bit. We're kind of dry around here but I'd be more than happy to build something, I just have an Old Fogey to finish first that I'll probably get done this week at the earliest.
We'll see where I am in a week but if I do decide to enter I'll be doing a Poolboy. Plans call for a 20" wingspan, so it'll probably be an F-pack size. The original idea was to build a boat that could take off from a pool, which I will not be testing hehe.

wow. that looks nice. if you publish foam plans for that, I will be your beta builder.

We'll see, I'm notoriously bad for making plans but it's not hard to follow balsa plans.
