hard to say if it can Immelmann. We know that the Hansa Brandenburg can because we have a picture of it doing a vertical climb. However that of course does not mean that all float planes could. i will be asking the same question about the Macchi shortly.
I'm glad you started this thread because I have had an order in at Hannants for most of this year waiting for them to restock the Baby floater.
