Built one from a Kit last year. Powered with a Cobra 4120/710KV motor and 4S pack. Made it a tail dragger, chopped the elevator in half, made the rudder longer so it reached the bottom of the fuse and used a Dubro tailwheel . I added a second LG mount to the fuse for floats. Landing gear is Dubro for both mains and for the floats.
Covered in Ultracote Brushed Aluminum and red. Also added wing struts. Uses separate aileron servos.Removed all the dihedral.
Floats are from Seaplane Supply. (Currently being fitted to plane.)
