I have one built. There were mistakes made in the wing strut mounts. ESM are poorly engineered compared to H9 or Great Planes but if you struggle through them they do fly ok. If I had another Beaver to build it would go together much easier. The plane looks good in the air and flys OK.
Like I said a while back, it flew good on wheels, but thats about it. I struggled with mine and It still sucked. I think one of the problems was the fact that all the float rigging straps were way out of the slip stream. It was like having a bunch of little rudders going every which way. the incedence was off neg by two degrees and the floats were a big piece of ****. there was as far as Im concerned no R&D what so ever done on this at the factory. I have a full scale Cessna 185 on whipline anfibs so I pretty sure what Im talking about
