    I would think that long tail would create so much drag in the water, it would never take off.

    Jon,<br /><br />When I first spotted this thing I thought I was looking at a blow-up ( doll ) airplane.<br /><br />Did you spot the big blue twin engine ( looked Russian ) parked on shore by the blow-up

    This is John Brown's dream come true. Last year it was nothing but a poorly constructed model (see the album 'Other Seaplanes' and look for 'Dragon Dreams'). John's goal was to have a LSA qualified seaplane by Oshkosh 2005. The fact that he had an airplane floating in the water is a testament to his tenacity. Heavy? You betcha. You can kick the wing and all that happens is that you'll have a sore foot. Don't you just love those crazy young men and their flying dreams?

    I usually really like new ideas and designs, but I'll put this right alongside Frank's Centaur. This thing is UGLY. Maybe it flys well.

    CREST flying toothbrush!!<br /> Good points-No wing strut.<br /> Sponsons/floats (instead of wing floats)<br /> Some dihedral.

    The red 'thing' is a hovercraft. When it gets up to speed, it flies about one or two feet above the water surface.
