Best Amphibian

What is the best amphibian for FS2004???  

[daylightla]

There are a few good amphibians that are out for Fs2004.  Mike Stone's (http://www.pmstone.com) Grumman Goose is very good.  There is also a very nice Beaver here  (http://www.simviation.com/fs2004props25.htm).  The Beriev Be-12 here (http://www.simviation.com/fs2002vintage7.htm) is also fairly nice.  If you want something different, wait for Project Skyworks (http://www.project-skyworks.vze.com) next project.  It is the Beriev Be-200 and A-40 jet powered amphibians.

I'd like to add the Grumman G44 Widgeon by Jerry Beckwith to that list.  Delightful aircraft that flies perfectly straight out of the box as it were.

I had a little tweak of the water contact points to get it to my personal satisfaction but it was nice to have a download that didn't need the flight dynamics tweaked.

This is in FS2002 but the author says it works perfectly in FS9 and as FS flight dynamics is something of a specialist subject with him I don't doubt him at all.
