Some may have seen my original thread but if not, I had someone give me 3 nice looking planes. I looked over the planes then chose one to focus on getting into the air. Awe heck check out the "lucky day" thread.

OH MY!! I LOVE THIS PLANE! I prepped Friday night for a Saturday flight but the winds were too strong. I remember a small section on float plane flying in flight school and heavy wind is not what you want for this configuration. I am lucky enough to live on a canal in upper Tampa Bay so this morning my brother in laws and I hopped on the boat and drove the plane to the top of the bay. We beached the boat, fired the plane right up and she was in the the water. I started a downwind taxi and thought I would get her up on plane off the steps. SMOOTH!!!! I could not help it, i gave her a little more throttle and she lifted into the air so smooth it was amazing. Downwind was strong but still....

I did some slow flight, stalls, low approaches then touch and go's. At the end I did a couple of hammer heads and tight turns, she is strong. WOW, this plane is so gentle and smooth as silk. CHECK IT OUT!

I spent about 6 hours since I got her and added: Spektrum 7 channel RX with remote receiver, new RX battery.
I used vasoline when installing wing to fuse and I had absolutely no water. I just cleaned her up and plan on adjusting the valves and check everything again.

I don't even want to mess with the SIG skywalker because I want to keep running this plane.
