The problem with most amphibious planes is that the gear animation is doubled: one for the floats, one for the wheels. Here we do not have this problems and thus it would be relatively easy to include this one in the game.

That's BS. The animations isn't any problem. Assigning the floats to brand new key command isn't any problem. All the same problems that i described in PBY thread remains with this plane.

Float doesn't magically act like a float just because it's modelled like one. And the wheels for every plane are just decorations. Rip off the wheels and the plane works perfectly like nothing has happened. Functionality is in the invisible hooks that are attached to wheel struts and these cannot exist in two places at the same time. And that's just a small part of the whole problem.
