Well, I think you did a great job with the plane - I've been wanting to build
one of these for a VERY long time, and your rendition is well-thought out and
detailed. The only change that I would suggest would be that the winglets on the
bottom might need a little rounding at the corners...they seem too square.

Thanks Joe. Those sponsons (the winglets along the bottom of the hull) were a
big kludge...I didn't have enough corner slopes to do what I really wanted. Next
time I'll use triangular plates on the ends!

I'll try that dihedral idea also, although the next boat I have in mind (a
Sikorsky S38 or S40) had a flat wing.
