I also have to admit that one reason I prefer more power is that while I never use wheels on a Seamaster, I DO often fly them from grass.
It's just a hoot to see them skidding along the ground!
I know what you mean Minn, I have a Sig Senorita that has Gee Bee plastic floats on it and I spray them with Pam and take off from grass myself. It slides around like its on ice. But I don't have any grass thats good enough for the Seamaster to take off from. Afraid it would damage the hull. Of course this is the ARF version. I'm thinking about the engines. My OS 46 FX was perfect, I sure don't want any less power than it or at least not much.
