Bill Lyons, all of his 2002 pay and freeware aircraft have wheeled and float versions. Cessna Bobcat, Fleet Canook for download at most sights. And for payware. he's got a Cub, Waco, Tiger Moth, Reyan STA, Globe swift. Find it all at http://windrfters.com/index.htm For others.. Eric Danties (sp) Has a wonderful DHC-6 Twin Otter Lots in wheel, ski, float, and amphib configerations. Their is also a Ford Trimoter and Junkers Ju-52 with very nice DVC's I dont recal the authors or original site I got them from, but I'm sure they can be found easly. A republic SeaBee is available from AVSIM and a Sikorsky s-38 and s-39 from Flightsim.com.Personally my most flown are the Bill Lyons aircraft, But all in that list are very nice float/amphibians.Having FunGrey_Wolf

Steven Grant and Fred Choate just released a Found BushhawkXP Float plane. Haven't had a chance to fly her yet but if anything like their wheeled version released a while back it will be awesome.You can pick it up here at avsim:-outtahttp://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/Us...43942b48d2b.jpg

I would really look at Bill's Cub series. Really great planes. Being a float pilot, the landings seem quite comparable to the real thing.

Thanks for all the replies and the information.---Jerry---
