Flyability of Biplane Flying Boat
I have been working on a biplane flying boat (similar to some in the
early 1900s). Rough weight estimates a fuselage/tail/controls 200, Rotax 503/5Gal fuel 150, wings 150, me 225 = 725 gross. The reason for the biplane configuration is for the large wing area (250sq.ft) I feel will be needed to get off the water. Any opinion on whether this will work? Perhaps I could get by with less wing area? I would also like tandem seating if the design can handle the extra weight. Brock
