This is my concept sketch drew on iPad using ProCreate (first forwared into 30 seconds) - any one of you could buils into my Seaplane Challenge I am going to built one myself later.
After the takeoff, the main pontoon has two raised towards a few large, and the floats under the wings have to be folded up to the wing tip for less drag and better aerodynamics
@QuesoAirlines Thanks for your comment. My idea comes like this: - The main pontoon has to be lowered while landing and takeoff, so the same to the wing tip floats to reduce the drag. Which I did not mentiones in the sketch.
This is a really well thought out design! It has that 1950's simplicity while also being somewhat outlandish. I'm guessing the main pontoon conforms to a cutout in the bottom of the fuselage to reduce drag?
@WinsWings let's try this out....

Nope, not yet....
anyone interested to build this for the Seaplane Challenge?

@WinsWings yay thanks
@Aeroplane351 yes, I have a plan to build this - I will do
@WinsWings can you make this a plane in simpleplanes?
@QuesoAirlines can’t wait to see. Please do
@WinsWings I think I'm going to create a version of this for the challenge. I haven't made a seaplane in seven years. 💀

@Noob101 ah, thanks. You are right. But I forget my Vexin-A23 when I was sketching this. LoL
looks cool kind of like your Dassault Vexin-A23 modified with floats and a different tail
nice art 10/10
Thanks@WinsWings !
I'll try building this after the challenge.....
Also... I'll build a fighter version of the XSP-1
I'm building this right now. Got the fuselage down.
@Rb2h Thanks, visit my Instagram Wins_Wings to see more
Wow you can draw good
@Sockdragger the link is not working
@WinsWings let's try this out....

@Sockdragger This is how to add pictures to your forum/post:
@WinsWings I'm post my concept sketches here, but first I have to learn how to embed images in my forum posts
@Sockdragger sounds interesting
@WinsWings sorry, I'm already designing.my own jet seaplane plus an option for a Dornier 335 with retractable central float.
@DauntB thanks. I will build at least, may be some time soon.
This is really cool Win. I think someone should build it!
I will make something similar to this
