Hi DG,

I was wondering if anyone would spot that!

It's supposed to represent a canard-configuration pusher with a radial engine and three floats - the larger central one and two wing floats / fuel tanks that raise into a wingtip position in flight (in the same sort of fashion as the Catalina) - the main aim was a simple (and therefore, hopefully cheap) craft - most of the structure isn't particularly load-bearing - the engine mount would have to be quite strong, as it's got the engine, main wing spars, loads from the centre float and the rudder, but apart from that you've got the canards and guns, which are as co-located as I could make them, and not much else.

I'm going to assume everybody's relatively happy with these drawings, so I was going to template this and the Drachenodem, rough out a 12-gun version as per Trojan, see what that looks like, then attempt my first FD-scale drawing for the floatplane, I think.
