Status: offline 		I've few unused engine, and this some in my mind

1. .50SX 2st (just replace bearing and still not run in after)
2. .52 2st Vmax
3. .71 4st magnum
4. .90 2st super tiger (still in the box) weight 10gr only dif with .61 ST

i'll go for .90 2st ringed ST due I'll play at near my house lake but my hometown on south just back of my parent house is South China Sea .. will have fun with open sea wave and off course it's salt water!

when i mount any servo and engine.. im to lazy to transfer it to other.. i'll leave them on the plane..

I know there is a vibration problem with ST .90 but my other .90 2st on extra 60 WM have no prb with this vibration. Just make sure read ST manual, follow the step when break in..

the only i hate this engine is the muffler.. to bulky but last night when i play around on this seaplane mounting(side mount).. you no need to dig big hole for the muffler due it's have "Muffler Exhaust Manifold" ... at least just put the entire muffler at out side...

btw have u heard ST .90 2st running with out Muffler? they only put "Muffler Exhaust Manifold" then fly.. wondering does the engine lasting?

Status: offline 		Im going to do everything i can to keep the tailweight down , no servos in the back , will use carbon tube pushrods and bellcranks , tank on the CG with a pump to the engine also the OS 55 is only 14.5 oz very light for its 1.75hp....this will mean less nose weight and a lighter plane overall ........ Ian

Status: offline 		all my servo are in the fuse front, I use Sullivan push-pull on elev & rudder. I've no pump so tank will be on back but thr servo will be replaced from standard to mini digital. ( but i think not much different)

Btw Ian what in your mind to mount your antenna ?

i've few Jet aerial from http://www.jetlegend.com/showaccessories.php?ShowSN=30 and I think will fit this at the back top.

Status: offline 		Duh, need spektrum tx.. I'm still thinking to get spektrum tx due I've to many rx on my freq.

Btw Ian I've talk with my friend.. he will going to post office to check price for shipment and no guarantee our EMS service or normal post service will ship oversized box to your country. But he will try the best to get quote.

I'm not a businessman and I'll try to ask him to get the lowest rate to your place. I'm only glad to helping and sharing our hobby

Btw I'll travel 200km to north this noon 1730hrs +8, so I'll be off line till next Monday, but if i have a good news for you, I'll login to inform you.

Have a nice weekend mate.

Status: offline 		Hi Ian.

Firstly i hope you will get your SeaWind soon.

I'm using ST .90 ringed with stock pipe.. so bulky muffler but only minimum drill out due have muffler extender, but plenty of power with APC 2 blade 12x8. It's only around 1/2 - 3/4 prop clearance to fuselage.

I use triple rate one my flaps, 1st step it's only 1/2" and 2nd step is 2 3/4. (I'm little bit forgot the actuals figure.. will check it tonite for your info). Using 1st step for take off and 2nd step for landing. Need very gentle throttle and can't be immediate else you will spin the plane and I did this few times . before take off I did play taxi around half tank to see how to turn this this with out NO water rudder. To turn this thing are very simple if you play 3D with no tail wheel dragger control.. exactly same way.. to land this things u need full flaps down (i use 2nd rate) and more than +-1/4 throttle else you'll drop this plane. I'm using all sullivan rod to elev and rudder except rudder I use simple bellcrank to out put. All servo at front fuselage except throttle rudder and his place.

I'm adding weight around 280gr at the end front and the battery also at this end front.. I'm keep them tight.

Oh boy.. this is true scale amphibian and this end week if weather allow i'll try to climb higher and trying to fly as slow it's can and will give some report.

Status: offline 		You need speed to turn this things.. if u have speed there is no prb to turn it.

If you don't have speed then you can play punch and release your throttle.. it's mean push the throttle immediate then immediate pull.. in mean time u need to turn your rudder to max..

Play it's first and you will use to it. I play till half tank and to taxi it it's pretty kool.. have fun..
