This is my PBM Mariner float plane. You can see more of it in Model Airplane news Nov. 2003. as a construction article. It is mostly foam and glass construction and the majority of the parts can be bought through mail ordering. Contact me and I'll fill you in sparky2@att.net
It has a 6 foot wing span and weighs 16 pounds. She flies like a big trainer with a low roll rate and not pitch sensitive at all. With my first few landings I found she didn't want to come down. The light wing loading makes splash and goes the best maneuver she does. Loops and rolls? Shame on you for even thinking about it.
