I love the hull sponsons vs pontoons. Change to sliding canopies - very doable - and it would be fine.<br /><br />I have thought of adding sponsons to the Rey for some time.          Larry Woods - Jan 27,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Hi Ken:<br /><br />Inboard sponsons can create significant problems for amphibians during both landings and takeoffs when water conditions include any significant wave action. They present consequential frontal area to oncoming waves, which slow/stop the amphibian during takeoff and abruptly slow/stop it on landings. One finds very few videos of amphibians sporting inboard sponsons negotiating even modest waves.... (unless it shows the aircraft emerging from smooth waters, well up on the step, which then uses the first encountered wave to launch). Clever.<br /><br />Best,<br />Larry          Kenneth Leonard - Jan 27,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Well...OK. Not like I was likely to get around to it - but disappointing anyway. What Matt shows below is what I was thinking.          Matt Tucciarone - Jan 27,2011   Viewers  | Reply     I know a guy who added inboard sponsons to his Aventura II. He is sorry he did. It threw the CG out of wack, not to mention the weight it added.       Attachments:   Airplane Crayton 0408 001
