Hello John,
I followed your S6 build with great interest, Have you flown it yet?? The photos of the finished article looked outstanding!
This post, copied below, has recently appeared on the LMA site and it made me think of you. I have no knowledge of the original poster or whether you would be interested in supporting his venture but thought that I would pass the information along.
regards

I may well offer my plans for my S6b, but I will only do that if it flies pretty well and I have ironed all the bugs and made any necessary mods. One of the beauties of CAD is that offering a kit is relatively very easy to do. I would indeed like other enthusiasts to benefit from my work.
As I hinted earlier, there is just a chance there will be a demand for a scaled up version (about half size).

Many thanks for you msg.
I still have not flown the S6b. I am waiting for one of the suitable waterplane venues to open up, as the lockdown restrictions ease. I have an expert pilot lined up for the first flight, because I think I might be a touch nervy on the sticks!
Yes, I am aware of Will Hosie, and he has even visited me and I have provided him with some information.
I will keep you informed re my S6b model. There is also just I possibility that I might make a larger version. I am also working on plans for a Gloster VI. Unfortunately, some of my other hobbies are getting in the way, so I haven't made much progress with that for some time.
