Anybody flown the Sea Loon?
In Oct of '87 "Model Aviation" published a plane called "Sea Loon". Its a .15 pod pusher twin boom sea plane. As I live on the water here in Minnesota and the loon is our state bird I thought it was appropriate that I consider it for a future project.
Has anyone ever seen/built/flown one before? The twin boom floats the the drooped airfoil tips look like an interesting bird. It looks like it should be hot in the air yet slow-n-stable with its flaps down. Depending on how it flies I might want to shrink it and stuff a Big Mig in it!
I see plans are a couple bucks off the AMA site but my type A personality wont let me wait 6 weeks to review the schematic and answer some of my own questions. Anybody have any thoughts?
