Ok Leslie,

I heard a different story.  What I heard was that in order to land the 
float-coupe the rudders had to be disconnected so spin testing was 
required.  During spin testing the test pilot had aileron flutter, lost 
the aileron and had to bail (with a parachute).  The airplane was lost 
but the pilot did not die.  Of course this is from memory and was 
hearsay to begin with.  But our conclusions are the same.  There are no 
certified float-coupes.
