This is an idea I had.

If you like this idea, please rate and I may do more like this!

Want to build your very own flying boat but don't want to be bothered designing a hull and pontoons? Well this is the kit for you!

Simply add wings, stabilizers, cockpit and attach the included pontoon wherever you like, and PRESTO, you've got your very own flying boat!

This kit includes a main Hull with two internally mounted VTOL engines and inlets that floats and is ready to be built upon, as well as a custom pontoon that can be placed under your wing (readjustment of pontoon strut may be necessary).

Hull has LOTS of connection points for adding more structural wings, struts, supports, engines, ANYTHING YOU WANT!

notes-

~Engines need nozzles to provide thrust.

~Hull does not have landing gear. If you want an amphibious flying boat you'll have to add landing gear yourself.

Feel free to use this kit to built your own personalized flying boat, and have fun!

HAPPY FLYING!
