Just a different type flying thread here as I know many of us far to often see something that makes us wonder...

Wild! Where's that?

I'll admit I don't know much, but "taildragger amphibs"?

This is a perfect world after all.

Nice catch Tom!

The photo itself made me ponder but I was wondering if anyone would notice the tail wheel on the floats...hence..."things that make you go hmmm".

Have been talking to the folks at Full Lotus about some amphib experimental floats and the tail wheel floats are what we are considering!
Should be way easier on the floats and the aircraft!

Gota love the colors
I like the float plane crossing sign!!

Big wheels forward! Nice. The way it ought to be.

Just looking at the floats.
This might just be some beaching gear not amphibs.
Not certain though.

Beaching gear it is.

Here they are in action looks like they make for a fairly level entry in to the water

A friend of mine built a set of woodern floats for his homebuilt Fisher Super Koala, then later added retractable landing gear in t/w configuration. The tailwheels looked like little skateboard wheels.

Thats a cool video. No brakes, he's got it in reverse to keep from rolling ahead & goes in & out of beta to inch down the ramp.
