Sweet. Looks like the new foam handles curves pretty well. Does the paper peel off the same as standard DTF?

Why would you put gear on a plane that is built for the water?

Just glue wheels onto the sides 
Although if it is flat bottomed then you're fine. Just add a little acrylic to the bottom for extra protection on the bottom and you're good. One of my Mini Guinea builds I didn't put any gear on it, and I did a few takeoffs from asphalt, it just tore the paper up.
You can hear it sliding along here.

I was actually considering a take-off sled like the ME 163. Defeats the purpose of a seaplane but I can still pretend a little.

Yes. If you want to peel off the paper, it comes off almost as easily as DTFB.

Has any word been leaked as to WHEN this kit will become available? Or even the plans?
Nothing yet, but I will update the first post in this thread when I hear anything.
Did anyone else notice another water plane in the DIY Monster P-38 video?
Right next to the Sea Duck but just behind Josh's head. I saw the horizontal stabilizer up higher on the vertical stabilizer and thought it may have been a alteration to the explorer but the whole fuselage is different. Another dual release for two water planes?

They both look really cool. I really like the mount for the motor on Peter's. I only recently started 4 channel with the Baron and then I tired out Peters Mini Guinea, both fly amazingly. I'm sure he will work out the kinks. Can't wait to see what these planes can do too.
All the videos I've seen of them have been during very windy conditions hopefully Josh and Peter get some good weather to test them.

This is killing me. Any word on a release date yet? It is only a little over 2 weeks before Joe Nall. I sure would like to take one there with me. I can build it in a couple of days. Hint Hint.

The last live FB feed was all about water trials of this plane; and the question about release date popped out (obviously). The answer was: maybe two weeks, maybe more". You can find the video here: https://www.facebook.com/flitetest/videos (look for the one titled "Otter-ly amazing WATER PLANE!!!!!")

That's amazing. Can't wait to try it on our river.
