Introduction
So I really enjoyed building and flying my original Gertrude, it was fun from all angles but I thought a float plane version was definately worth a play. Fun on the water now.

Lol wait I actually did comment and upvote. For some reason I can't remember this airplane at all. Well whatever, my memory sucks sometimes :p@RamboJutter
@Hedero nah you upvoted and commented on it hence I worked on an amphibious float as per your suggestion :)
Oh shoot I completely missed this airplane. Looks awesome! @RamboJutter
@Hedero I just saw your teaser and it reminded me of this, i did make the undercarriage you suggested and it worked well but the extended float looked aweful on this airframe so i put it to one side to be used later =)
Your builds are so good!
@LittleTOADY sorry but I don't have any interest in low part count builds. This works fine in my mobile as well.

idk is just me or it kind of reminds of some italian aircraft
when will you start to make mobile friendly creations?
200-420 parts
Oh wow it is quite small in relation to the aircraft. I wonder if it was underpowered or had power issues.@RamboJutter
@Hedero i might have a go, have you seen how small the prop is on a Grumman duck? next a corsair here
love the big pp plane
Yep! But only if you feel like it. @RamboJutter
@Hedero yeah I could do that, it would be a proper amphibian then :)
I love it. You should make one with Grumman Goose styled landing gear on the float. If you know what I mean.
