RE: Great Planes Seawind
Jim and ALO 111, I flew the Seawind today. A beautiful, light wind, sunny and warm day (sorry ALO 111, your days are coming soon). Anyway, I followed your instructions to the letter after having trimmed the water rudder size way down to about 1" in blade axial length. The plane had a slight drift to the right which I believe may be the result of the rudder not being perfectly straight. At any rate, no water loops and a nice smooth takeoff. Thanks guys for the advice. I was thrilled.
