So is there some kind of catch here - I've been looking for a motorglider with a tail mounted engine..could be electric? Just beginning to wonder if its a UAV?
Is this the old reverse-catch trick, Ken? An electric UAV? You cunning fox...

Morning mate - how's the head?
Excellent. One glass of red, one cup of tea...I'm a changed man!

While I've been cooking breakfast, making the beds and a quick silhouette?! You lack time management mate! Sharpen up or you're out on your ear!

Morning mate.

Looking at the engine position, this has to be a floatplane.

Bear with me and I'll scan the 3-view. Go watch some TV while I make it.

Well I can only think of one twin boom amphibian - and it's not that! Going to call it a night now, so have a good day Graeme, and catch you later.

It's more well known without the twin-booms.

Built in 1969.

Moulton B. Taylor was the designer.

I'll accept Coot!

The Coot Model B to be precise. The Amphibian that Taylor rejected in favour of a conventional rear fuselage.

All yours mate! Take your time, gonna make breakfast.

Cheers.

.....and cheers to you mate.

How's your lad today??

It's the start of Sunday for you but midnight Saturday for those of us in the UK, and I need to go to bed.

Therefore I will leave you with something to tax your mind, but since you will probably be alone with it, you are authorised to call OH if you can't find it.

Nite nite / good morning
