OT - The Privateer NICE!!!

That's a sweet looking aircraft. It mentions a tricycle UC in the blurb so I wonder if that is going to be in the floats/nose or all in the central pod. The latter may lead to stability issues on land.

One thing in the design concerns me though. Without any visible water rudders and with the prop blowing between the twin tails manoeuvring on the water may be a bit tricky. If the prop shroud was coupled with the rudder it might be very manoeuvrable indeed.
 
Sure looks like a nice airplane.

I'm skeptical about it's performance on water though. Looks like it would bob front to back to me.
