Thanks a bunch for all the additional information. Since I started this post, I have completed my twin seamaster and it has had a couple summers of flying. Your all right, I is a lot of fun. I have had an engine go out a couple times and was able to land the plane due to the infomation I received here. The first time I had plenty of alltitude and was still climbing, the plane stapped and I throttled back regained speed in a dive, leveled off and landed on the water and taxied back to shore on one engine. The second time I lost an engine on takeoff from a large wave, I was heading out to sea so to speak and the water was getting really rough so I did not want to set it down that far out. I continued a shallow climb using rudder and was able to come around and land near the shore. It is amazing at how overpowered our planes really are. I was amazed at how one 25 engine was able to pull my 7.5 - 8 lb plane up into the air and circle around to land.
Thanks dkm, for that info on the rudder going the same direction as the ailerons. I guess I knew that but never thought about it. A great tool to use when things go wrong really fast. Natural reaction is aileron input for correction which is a great indicator to use the correct rudder input without having to think about it.
I am still planing on putting a couple 25's on the semetrical trainer forty wing and building a fuse for it. I would really like it to have retracts, but have to do more research on a twin tail dragger configuration. Seems like it could get a little squirly on the ground.
