Hello guys,


Its practical to have a float plane here (Greece), because the good part of the country is by the sea.



A single person kit with floats, would be magnificent. I would prefer a reliable popular kit, with good instructions and easy build.

PRO = I am patient and will follow instructions to the letter
CON = If a multitude of weird tools and machining are "implied" in the instructions, Id rather stay away. Only standard tools I can use happily.
Oh, I would prefer if all the bolts.etc are included too.

Speed and range I dont care. Id prefer it slow anyway. But powerful enough to lift off easily from the water.

What do you think, should I consider it ? Is landing on floats too difficult ? I can fly RC airplanes and many airplanes on computer sim. Nothing real though.
There are schools to learn first, of course.

What model do you think might match my criteria ? Thanks!
