RE: Seaplane pictures
The original Sea Dancer was a 60 size build-it-yourself kit. RCM has the plans and Hobby Lobby kitted it. The kit went out of production 10 or 15 yrs ago.
The 120 size (also a BIY kit) was introduced in 1999, but unfortunately Fred Reese, the designer and kit manufacturer passed away after only about a dozen kits were made.
I found this one in Oregon. It had been built, flown with a 120 four stroke, and crashed before I bought it. After stripping the covering, repairs as needed, recovering and re-engine-ing, I am very happy with it.
It is aerobatic and very precise in the air, but the absolute best feature is the way it lands. (The photo in post #536 is a landing and the first photo below is a full flap approach.)
