My take on Winswings' seaplane Redesign Challenge: Starting with the 1930's Junkers A-50 two-person sports plane, the "Zentralschwimmer Amphibium -Zwei Motoren" ( za/2m) version is a seaplane with a central float and its single front engine replaced by two smaller pusher ones.  And to make the transformation complete, I also added a retractable landing gear for standard runways and for rolling onto beaches (Try it) I imagine the final result as something of a 1930's small runabout, jungle air taxi or seaplane trainer for 1930's airline pilots.

Flying: it is a 1930's sports plane so there are no flaps or other fancy gimmicks. Just line up on the beach or runway and push throttle. She flies without vices just as long as you remember she doesn't like rough landings, so just let her float down by her own accord and keep the nose up.

Instead of flaps and gizmos I did add two virtual cockpits, though. As long as you don't mind that, like with the original Junkers A-50 the instrumentation is rather spartan.

Takeoff is 80-90 mph, cruising at 110-120. On water takeoff, you might have to wiggle the plane a bit to unstick, but otherwise, just pull the Trim back and she rises by herself. (You can fly the aircraft on trim alone)

Also remember that when starting from water it pays to raise the landing gear prior to takeoff
