I know it doesn't have wheels, but is it worth a new thread?

I was always a fan of the Republic SeaBee. This is a similar airframe. Also a fan of the Prandtl-D wing. It has washout at the wingtips to reduce or eliminate tip drag. Airliners use vertical rudderlets. This seems to be similar, with a swept back tip that prolly washes out.
