Free plans can be found at

Thought some people might like to see whats out there for free.
To download a free DWG and DXF viewer see below,

Vintage style and all the better for it Joe Otts kingfisher.
http://www.theplanpage.com/Months/2404/kingfisher.htm
Pics of other vints on floats 108" Quaker and Playboy Snr http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_2501070/tm.htm

loads of different plans but includes a cub float-plane
http://members.fortunecity.co.uk/slmohr/rcplan6.htm
and this French site
http://aeromaniacs.free.fr/
lightened Seamaster version on this site/page + 40 sized floats
http://plans.rcmodell.hu/plansport.html

My favourite SPAD ....Snowmaster a correx seamaster by Benjimmin....other SPADs make great Seaplanes, waterproof tough and impervious to chemicals and simple to build generally. This one was built to bounce off snow and ice. Scroll down the side menu to find it.
http://www.benjamminsvideos.rchomepage.com/

Chunkies Site - Perhapse the single largest source of SPAD plans and Pics/technical bits all zipped
http://spadfest.rcspads.com/
SPADS of particular interest here
Barny a 72" span old timer high wing monoplane elegant wing plan form-
http://spadfest.rcspads.com/display...?album=47&pos=5
Coro Bee the mans own Coro version of the Clancy Classic Lazy Bee
http://spadfest.rcspads.com/display...album=47&pos=24
SPAD to the bone plans page.....its about imagination for float flying..but see the Coro cub
http://www.spadtothebone.com/freeplans.htm

Possibly the largest collection of free plans around and a source for software to see and do. Most seaplanes/float planes are under sport or scale.....including a Canadair.
http://www.profili2.com/eng/default.htm

Great German model Flyingboat site super pics, screen savers and plans
http://www.rc-wasserflug.info/
http://www.rc-wasserflieger.at/gallery.htm

You will need to use a translator -Google toolbar etc....but here is a Huge collection of Free plans,3 views,technical stuff for all sorts and float construction.
http://corsair.flugmodellbau.de/fil...es_bauplan.html

http://www.willingtons.com/mymac/mmacphome.htm

Fly Electric FREE PLANS/float planes Monster - Electric models gallery includes several awesome Flying-boats and float-plane subjects.
http://www.flyelectric.ukgateway.net/index.htm

other interesting candidates on the same sites use some imagination....

Float-plane designing for success and high altitude flying...nice site worth looking at lots of advice
http://www.stenulson.net/rcflight/waterfly.htm
French water-plane site- use a online translator- very good details on foam float design and construction/set up
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/j.s/hydravions/text1.htm
Tim Hooper started this collection of plans and 3views and graphics, dip and dive
