Special thanks to JimCasey, jrf and all others...
that help me with my first seaplane. It is a SPAD Debonair. You might ask why am I posting SPAD info on the seaplane forum. Well this forum has more information on seaplanes than any other. Anyway I flew my "SeaDeb" last week and because of the great instructions, information etc. I received on this forum it flew great and all it needed was a little right rudder trim.
Yesterday I put the plane through her paces. Loops, inverted flight, roles, spins, tail slides, Split S's, and more. Ran out of fuel twice do to running the tank empty, having to much fun. Here are a few photos of SeaDeb. Again thanks to all that help me.

Doesn't matter what it's made of (SPAD), if it takes off and lands on water you are in the right place! I agree that this sub-forum is very informative, there is obviously a lot of experienced builders and flyers that post here. I also put a SPAD on floats a few years ago, and found everything I needed here with a few searches. One thing that I have noticed (and appreciate) about this sub-forum is the straight foward no BS attitude that the vast majority of posters take here.
btw your "SeaDeb" looks great!
