seaplane configurations three basic types 1 hull 2 twin float 3 single float tip stabilizers hull flying boat style will almost always have high wing single multiple engines mounted pod wing Tip floats some kind spon sons maintain lateral balance models tend have fairly high wing loadings wing mounted high PBY crosswind taxiing becomes difficult due downwind tip float digging twin float configuration tends popularprobably because handle rough water best also will take crosswind landings digging twin float model steers reasonably well heavy water enough water rudder provided fact twin float ships make up majority full-scale seaplanes also tends influence us Another reason high number twin float configurations models fact easiest modify landplane versions Just strapping couple floats can get water minimum effort third seaplane configuration has single float tip floats stability wont see models except few Scale competitions single float offers very little drag reduction over twin floats single float model tough control crosswinds After having said negative things still wouldnt give up Zero anything Thats first two-part presentation Ponder relief water has crowded
