Mine folded the wheels up in a very awkward config which made the plane look like a stork swimming and trying to keep its feet dry. Worked though.

The wea ther is warm and the lake temperature can get into the 80's during summer. No problem swimming. I have a neighbor (a retired airline pilot) that built an early kolb twins tar and put floats on it. He and a fellow pilot flew it on the Mississippi river near St. Louis. The floats were not amphibious. They hauled it bac k and forth. This was probably 15/20 years ago. I think he gave me a pict ure of it. I'll see if I can scan and attach it.

But IMHO the Kolb is an IDEAL configuration for a floating-hull seaplane or amphib, with stubby sponsons. Better than floats IMHO.
