Alright Down Boys, Geez !!!


Designed by Laddie Mikulasko, the Aquastar Seaplane uses a pusher engine and is intended for intermediate builders/fliers. I think thats his daughter with the plane. So again, down boys.

No Gene, to date I have yet to build any type of sea/float plane of my own and I have never flown from water. This year I built the CG Cub for a friend that was built as a water plane. I did build all kinds of things into the plane I have seen at float fly's and things I just thought a float plane should have. Sealed hatches and any place water could get into. I made up my own landing gear block and made it longer and stronger so it had a place to hard mount the hardware for the floats. We flew the plane off of the hard packed lake bed and it's a perfect machine, no trim required at all. The owner just put it on floats and finished the set up last week. He has asked me things about float set up but I can tell him nothing, only things I have read in magazines and here on RCU so pretty much nothing at all. It was floated in a hot tub yesterday but I don't even know how the floats should look in the water if the CG is correct.
A build is a build but the floats remain a mystery to me, sorry.
