Take another look at high wing monoplanes with amphibious floats. Rebel to
Bearhawk.

I'm interested in a plans-built amphib, and the Coot and Osprey II have
attracted my attention. Any thoughts/opinions about one vs the other?

On a related issue, I have been underwhelmed by the useful loads of both
aircraft...around 450 pounds, more or less. Is there any "conventional
wisdom" out there about "supersizing" a plane; i.e. building to 120% or so
of scale?

TIA.
