Anyone here fly r/c amphibs or float planes. I was looking at Great Planes Seawind
electric arf it looked pretty cool.

I used to...the water is a lot less forgiving than land. A botched landing on land means you bounce to a stop or maybe rip off a gear, no biggie...all my amphibs were on floats, so a bad landing meant best case ripping a float off and the plane staying upright...worst case, catching a float on a wave right at touchdown and cartwheeling across the water (yep, know that first hand lol)...
