RE: Neptune ARF Seaplane question

RE: Seamaster .40 with an O.S. .55 AX

Sometimes glue will get on the threads or just a rough cut thread makes screwing the bolts in harder. If you have a set of taps, find the right size and clean the bore out. You can also find a...

RE: Seamaster .40 with an O.S. .55 AX

RE: Neptune ARF advice on 1st seaplane? Construction tips?

The pods on the Neptune and Seamaster are light and with a 4 stroke will vibrate. The 2 cy. runs smoother. An os 46fx is perfect for this plane. A Saito 72!?. Better beef up the pod. And remember, a...
