Default Seaplanes?

Anyone done it? Is it true that it can be just a weekend thing? It's
on my list of "something I always want to try", but I'm having trouble
finding anywhere to do it.

And afer you've done it, Rachel, you will have a heck of a time trying to
find a rental. But it is a weekend thing.

If you do it as a weekend thing Bob's comment is very true. I was
forutnate enough to do it over a period of time (similar to how we get
all our other licenses) and had no problem renting one whenever I
wanted after my check ride.

I honestly believe I learned a heck of alot more than I would have in
a weekend course.

Depending on where you live and how you want to proceed both options
I'm sure are available. Some of the links previously provided should
be of help.

http://www.legend.aero/index.cfm
Base price configuration of $74,000,

The American Legend Cub is a LSA, so a pilot won't need a medical to
fly it, but it's only 100 HP, and lacks the performance of the
Cubcrafters 180 HP product (base price about double the Legend).
There's a good Legend Cub article he

Question: Is it a LSA or an LSA?

I can see "a" ...for a Light Sport Aircraft

But here, is it "an" ...for an (L)SA as in elephant?

Curious. My eyes see it one way, my ears hear it another.
