Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share a sketch of my ultralight (Canadian rules) flying boat design. It doesn't use any sophisticated means to get off the water (it's pretty traditional in that way). I wanted to design something small and fun to fly. For reference, the wing span is 24ft.

The biggest challenge will be to design the drive system from the engine, housed in the fuselage, to the two remote prop shafts.

Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
