Anybody on floats yet, I splashed the TwinBee yesterday and plan on a morning flight tomorrow.
Just got back from Sacandaga , did a few landings in the water, beautiful day. Flew the M-7-260 on wips. Anybody on floats yet? I have the TwinBee flying now also, did some splashes last week.

I suppose you could hang them under the wings. :smile:

I saw this airplane flying at Norwood in the 60s. Very impressive.
There would be more drag if they were bow first. Look behind a boat in the water, very draggy. That's why the stern of the bigger boats are more pointed.The added engines are interesting, not sure I had seen that in the past.
But the boats being slung transom first, must be the additional drag is less the issue than the downforce at the bow of the hulls if they faced forward.
Not necessarily, the fluidic properties in the air is considerably different than in water due to the vast difference in specific gravity of the fluids affecting the Coanda effect. The hull hung under the wing, transom first has tremendous turbulence, but little downforce.There would be more drag if they were bow first. Look behind a boat in the water, very draggy. That's why the stern of the bigger boats are more pointed.
Not on the outside, that's what the bow door is for. Fold down the seat backs or take out the right and 5th seats, put them inside. You can get a lot of stuff inside. Where would you place them outside? The landing gear takes up a lot of the available space.
