Well, this is a cool first flight, assuming that flying a whimsical piece of 1930's art deco design suits your fancy:

Just overlook the runway excursion, nose-over, prop strike at the end. Apparently an unexpectedly long float and a brake failure contributed.
Design is jaw dropping gorgeous but entirely untested - better to look good than feel safe...right?
